Yes, I am aware how ironic it is to post this on Lemmy.

      [Insert obligatory grumpy stares from ircII/irssi/whatever-real-IRC-client users when they hear a Windows 95 user referring to the whole service as “mIRC”]

      Lol some of my formative programming time happened on mIRC script. I wrote a battle.net chat client in mIRC script, ironically right when blizzard decided to make it for game clients only and I never did get to faking a game’s handshake. Other than that, it was basically just an IRC server itself, though I never tried connecting mIRC directly to it using the IRC side, just a mIRC script client that used the mIRC script sockets and would set up a channel window for whatever channel you went to.

      I also had a DnD script where you could roll basic characters, equip weapons and armor, and attack each other, I think it was 3.5-based (or maybe just 3).
