is there a reason you said that same thing both on here and in the chatzy room but you still haven't even logged in IRC yourself?
CptFabulous regularly visits the IRC channel. Perhaps he simply hasn't been online when you were.

I need a IRC client to connect to IRC IIRC.
Nope. At least, you don't need to
download one.

Who the hell uses it nowadays?
Thousands of people use IRC daily. It may be a very old protocol, but it is by no means a dying one.

The point is we should move forward, instead of communicating via telegraph.
IRC
has moved forward. In the original IRC protocol, chat rooms only had numbers, not names, and there was no way to prevent people from stealing your chat room or your nickname. (Some IRC networks still don't have nickname protection; Esper, however, does.) IRC today allows long channel names that can contain nearly any character, and usually provides service to kill people who try to steal your nickname or channel. (Well. Not kill, exactly, but whatever.)

I must understand if Espernet wants to be exclusive, it is it`s right.
Pretty sure no-one wants to be exclusive here.

Another easy to use IRC client (that requires no download) is Mibbit.
www.mibbit.com/chat
Actually, that's the same one Yakkers linked; or rather, Mibbit is embedded in the page he linked.
