While I can also say IRC, wasn't anything like proving someone wrong, just keeping up with the speed of the conversation required being able to type without looking at the keyboard.

    Yeah, I feel like Discord (ugh) got that way quick, too, in more populated rooms. IIRC, IRC didn't have that "quote for context" either, so if you were hunt-and-pecking the conversation already moved on lol.

    Yeah, for me it was all AIM chats, though I had a couple friends who used IRC. But if you wanted to be part of the conversation, you better know how to type. You wanna make a quip? Better be quick, because so does everyone else.
