did you asked those "most every single users" ?
did you made a voting poll ?
did you made some statistics in last 7 years with "most every user" on this forum based on what do they think ?
Did you do any of those things before you made your "mIRC isn't good for casual users" assertion? I'm thinking not.
Really this entire thread needs to die. The initial post was a blatant troll based on ridiculous assumptions:
- IRC is dead.
- There are still tens of thousands of users on dozens of networks. Obviously it isn't dead.
- Khaled shouldn't charge for mIRC.
- Welcome to the free market. People are free to charge whatever they want for whatever products and services they provide. If the charge isn't fair then people won't use the product/service. The fact that mIRC has been shareware for over a decade and continues to be developed and sold shows that many many people think that it is worth the money.
There, initial post answered. We can all move on with our lives.
