Yeah, I left IRC in 2000. Long story. I've only been back once for like just a few hours looking for an old friend. Its not like it used to be. When I was there in the late 90s EFnet was a literal war zone. It was the wild wild west. IRC on any network now is nothing like EFnet used to be. You can't take over channels. Unlike you I had places I called home. 90% of my friends were online. I met my wife(now X) on IRC.
When I left IRC I started playing MMOs. Asherons Call, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, then EVE Online. I quit all of it because it was just taking up too much time.
