When I go on mIRC now, there are no where near the channels that used to be on there. What happened to them? Are they all on a different mIRC server?
As time changes, things change, in your case, channel owners dropping their channels. Try going on a different IRC server with a lot of channels on.
Do you have a server that you can recommend?
We cannot spam IRC servers on these forums. However go here.

Additionally, for anyone who reads this thread and are referring to filesharing channels that are amongst the missing, many networks (like DALnet) no longer allow channels to exist for the primary purpose of filesharing of any kind. And no, we cant/wont tell you where to find that kind of channel.
