Same thing that’s wrong with Teamspeak and the other old standby, IRC:
A dated look and lack of shinies like inline GIFs scares the youngsters, the lack of history/persistence drops them and everyone else.
Ah, the many logging bots of IRC. Going to a website or getting daily sized text files DCC’d to you so you could search up if your problem had already been solved, or so someone said they think it was solved on one of those days…
history/persistance is the problem; I don't think anyone seriously cares about inline GIFs.
You would be surprised
I don't see anything wrong in preferring a higher level of expression through GIFs or whatever.
Well fuck me if history/persistence isn’t really a problem in an age when we were being warned the government was spying on everything.
