Post your ominous signs -
IRC is bad, and the reason every time a new chat service collapses people seem to go "literally everywhere except IRC" is that "literally anything except IRC" is what people want@vampiress @mcc Quassel lets you do this, but you're still in the "host this thing on a VPS and do recreational sysadmin" territory to make it work. It's not quite BNC/ZNC levels of bad, unless you consider Qt usage cruel and unusual punishment (I personally don't, but I don't think those who do are being unfair).
There's also irccloud and such but that still only fixes one complaint among a litany of them.
IRC was cool. There's a reason most folks left it.

#retrocomputing folks: I'm trying to get a sense of the proportion of people here who are into retrocomputing today but didn't experience the machines when they first came on the market.@stilvoid @fluidlogic Same, I lusted after Amigas, Macintoshes, etc that I basically didn't touch, and a big part of the hobby for me was exploring those once they became obtainable (though they're rapidly becoming unobtainable again)
Re: the poll question: we had a C64 *fairly* early (84-ish?) but then the 80s hit my family hard and we upgraded from a C64 to a 386 just before the Pentium released, and skipped 16 bit home computing altogether.
