Firstly I wanna thank you guys for this post as I didnt have to start it
1. mIRC looks old. It's old. Why it have to look old? Why not upgrade it? it is conservative to say it is good and lets not change it. Again why? You can implement "old" look for mIRC if new look do not feel good like Winamp 5 does even tho it has a greate skin support.
2a. adding webcam would be fantastic thing to prevent users using microsoft products like msn messenger. Ofcourse this would have to be done really good way to make it work and look good on mIRC.
2b. adding voice-com could be must as many irc users play internet games and atm they need third party voice-com software. I dont see why cant mIRC program take it to the next generation an upgrade this and webcam support?
3. Smileys... I say lets leave that off from irc. Smileys is boring youngster way to say smileys. irc type
is better than msn type of smilies. OR you could add smileys support where you could chose to see them but not your opposite person so then it stays user friendly way.
I think mIRC dosent have to stay in the shape like it has been always. City changes, interenet websites changes, programs changes and all evolve into next generation things.
The way like it coould be done is to make mIRC2 or something.
I like to say that dont flame me right away. I have taught these things long time and I am not youngster but I just support evolving. I am not conservative person.
