bring mirc forward. by forward i mean, link into the various social networking applications that seem to be the big thing nowadays. does IRC have a place there? instead of just a program that sits lonely by itself, that not many people find.
That's pretty vague... do you have some concrete ideas to discuss? (For my part, I don't!)
Regarding the statistics - they're nothing but statistics; diversification of the networkscape is an inherent (?), central feature of the the history of IRC. Shrinking heavy nets do not denote less users in itself. And btw a lot of networks - especially medium sized nets (say, 3k to 10k users) - dislike indexing drones and simply don't appear in these stats.
Apart from that and my own doubts about the
need for change, I'd like to read about viable, inventive ideas; flailing ones arms "one has to do
something" won't further anything.
