The one thing Discord has over IRC is logging. If someone could develop an IRCv# with constant channel logging and a history like Discord, I would be there immediately.

    Back in the day my mirc client logged as long as I was online. Had logs for certain channels that went back 7 years at one point, but sadly lost those logs in a HDD meltdown.

    I had 28.8 dialup when people in my neighborhood had DSL, because my folks were cheap and old-fashioned. They were still accustomed to 1200/2400 baud, why should we waste the money on 56K? We finally upgraded when I got a Hayes 56.6K from Dennis Hayes at a show, and I insisted on installing the thing myself. So I wasn't able to stay online and keep logs.
