IRC is max ephemeral for me, ha. I don't even have to think about exchanges had after. Just that I "chatted" a bit. IRC is also slow and consistent in a "sane" way, unlike AOL chats in the laught-90s (am I dumb for saying laught?). Ctrl-c reminds me of the AIM private chats I would put together nightly in 2001/02, just friends babbling about whatever all night. Ctrl-c isnt guaranteed that nightly. But it happens at times.
I can't remember if I ever IRC'd in a big way. It mostly seemed a cool concept, and I'd enjoy following exchanges even without adding to them. But I was way too enamoured of longer-form then and now.
Except in Midnight replies, of course.... ;-)
