TIL people still run eggdrop bots. I don't think Ive touched one since maybe 2003. was probably the last time I messed with tcl

I still have an IRC server but the eggdrop's usefulness has pretty much been reduced to fetching YouTube titles and the URL of images on tenor. Its main use was to fetch titles for all URLs pasted on channels where it is, but because me and most of the users are now using TheLounge as a client, there is no need for that anymore, except for a few exceptions. At one point it was also displaying all the things my friends upvoted on reddit, but since reddit closed its API and I came here...

IRC with TheLounge is still very useful though.
