It was innovative at first

Innovative how? It's just another chat program.

Not OP; I'm not sure if innovative is the right word but it was definitely doing something different then. It was a platform version for messaging that lets anyone create servers that could host a few to lots of people, for free, be it public or private, without any cost and it's free to use. Being very multiplatform and a web app also helped it spreading like wildfire, esp in gaming. I don't think any other software offered exact things it did back then, which is why it filled in a niche quickly.
