Is the program named for or referencing Steve Urkel? Is this very unlikely? Am I even correct in having 'Ircle' and 'Urkel' as homophones? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.188.128.139 (talk) 09:08, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's an IRC client. The name probably references cIRCle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.89.139.58 (talk) 15:32, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In some dialects of German, the -le suffix is used for diminutives. Since the program originally was very small, I came up with this name. --Olaf 79.229.190.166 (talk) 22:35, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is Ircle defunct now?

If someone who has knowledge/references to what happened to make Onno Tijdgat pull all of the content off of his web page and remove all of the downloads could add this information to the article, it would be very useful... Lildobe (talk) 16:20, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More disturbing: robots.txt has been set to annihilate the archive.org history. I sent email to Onno, asking to explain Ircle's status and future on the home page. --Lexein (talk) 23:58, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Has Onno replied with any information? Lildobe (talk) 03:35, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any information about this? It's been almost a year... I miss my favorite IRC client.2600:1016:B020:407E:79B7:51CA:4585:F89D (talk) 16:03, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
