sure it could... the twitch.tv and discord chat stuff is shoehorned over IRC... i know some who participate via their IRC clients without seeing any of the graphical content rendered... how they do it, i don't know but i know it is done... in the same fashion, the same could be done with FTN stuff... hell, look at email and news... they still use the original formats and carry a lot of graphical stuff... there's a lot of folks out there who would be quite surprised to find that email is still the same as it ever was... only a lot of it is encapsulated in MIME these days... the same could be done with FTN stuff if someone really wanted to do so...
