never used irc,. used to go to some chatrooms few years ago ocassionally though
i think chatrooms got replaced with new kind of tools, namely both instant messangers and social networking sites
I also think using the web to meet new people isnn't as common as it used to be. I think all the social networks nowadays enable you often to renew the relations/friendships with your old friends from your past and as a consequence, you concentrate less and less on meeting new ones.
chatrooms, also arent that effective in meeting people, you dont know who's behind the nickname, so if you want to meet new people on the internet, meeting them through social networks and dating sites seems like a better way
