Then I stand corrected (to a degree), but I would maintain that in terms of internet communication among the general populace, it's clearly far less popular/mainstream than it used to be, and it's probably not the best place to look for social interaction with Japanese people online.
especially finding the "right girl" I even hesitate to recommend language exchange services which offer chat which I admit I am not using but I hear they are very good. If he is serious about learning Japanese a language exchange chat seems a good way to go though.
I too am on IRC including actually Japanese IRC but you just find IT types there for the most part, you won't find a date.
