A bear in a bat costume. I'm a writer of the purple sage. A gay, boisterous, fine-looking, dare-devil boy.

IRC started in 1988 when Jarkko Oikarinen created a real-time chat protocol. 🌐 It soon grew into networks like EFnet (1990) and Undernet (1992), shaping online communities long before social media.

Here's a May 1993 memo about an experimental IRC protocol ➡️ archive.org/details/rfc1...
Top of page 1 of a memo. It reads: Network Working Group Request for Comments: 1459 J. Oikarinen D. Reed May 1993 Internet Relay Chat Protocol Status of This Memo This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract The IRC protocol was developed over the last 4 years since it was first implemented as a means for users on a BBS to chat amongst themselves. Now it supports a world-wide network of servers and clients, and is stringing to cope with growth. Over the past 2 years, the average number of users connected to the main IRC network has grown by a factor of 10. The IRC protocol is a text-based protocol, with the simplest client being any socket program capable of connecting to the server. Below this are the Contents. 1.1 Servers The server forms the backbone of IRC, providing a point to which clients may connect to to talk to each other, and a point for other servers to connect to, forming an IRC network. The only network configuration allowed for IRC servers is that of a spanning tree [see Fig. 1] where each server acts as a central node for the rest of the net it sees. Below this is the diagram for Fig. 1. Format of IRC server network
