I would love to read more about this. Do you happen to have any good resources I could read into?
I'm not sure if there's a definitive history, but the Wikipedia articles on various IRC networks are a start, e.g. EFNet, DALnet, etc. The latter was the first IRC network to introduce network-wide authentication, for instance, which is a feature folks have been talking about here too.
Fantastic. Thank you for the info!
