For those that already have the program installed on the computer IRC still works fine but for those that haven't installed the program or are trying to install it on a new PC, you get a virus in the downloaded application. (Several anti-virus programs are catching Trojans in it). This was why we went with Google Hangouts for the Kerths so we weren't giving people viruses.
As DC said, we left the Kerth Chat (Now named "
Lois and Clark Fans Chat") open for fans to chat in there if they'd like.
I know some people still go on IRC but it's not as active as it once was. I hope this answers your questions.
