This is patently false. Your chat history is in your client AND in most cases put online somewhere by the admins or a bot they control. I can still go look at my IRC chats from 18 years ago today.

I’m talking about chat history for the entire channel, no matter if you’re online or not.
Maybe admins can put them up somewhere in another place, but they are never there when you join fresh in a channel.

It just sounds like you have very little actual experience with IRC. You can go ahead and download me all you want. I’ve been running IRC servers for a very long time. Any of the servers worth spending time on hosted their logs… Often with a link in the topic.
