Is chat dead? is a frequent phenomenon on IRC, where it seems noone is participating in chat. If chat is dead, it usually is a signal for people to start slow flooding the channel.
On IRC, conversation often flows very slowly, as if people have first learned to type. Each bit of sentence may take 30 seconds to several minutes for participants to say, causing a brief conversation to consume hours of your life on IRC.
