hello!
i too, had enjoyed IRC for months now, even though i haven't registered it yet. i also have the same reasons, don't have a credit card and can't brag my parents to do the paying... but if registering would be the only way to enjoy it to the fullest, i'll be willing to do that if not sooner, later!
well, let's just cross our fingers, shall we tenzterra? (lol!)
(and, by the way, i'm not using the illegal cracked version, just an unregistered one)
