Dear visitor,
please note that this page is no longer maintained. Most of the information is out of date and is provided as is.
You might consult our server list our use webchat, as these are the remaining parts that are functioning.
Thank you.
Forum is back on-line!
08.04.2008
We are pleased to announce, that IRCnet.com forum is now operational again! You can access it by pointing your browsers to http://www.ircnet.com/forum.
*.uunet.nl will soon stop providing its IRC services
12.03.2008
Sadly we have to announce that the client IRC server irc.uunet.nl aswell as the hub server ircd.uunet.nl will cease to exist in the next few weeks due to lack of support from the ISP after the recent DDoS attacks. The clients are advised to use the other Dutch IRC servers
(irc.xs4all.nl and irc.snt.utwente.nl).
Edit: The official date when the servers will disappear is now 7.4.2008.
eu.irc6.net is open for all IPv6 clients now
10.01.2008
The IPv6 enabled IRC server, eu.irc6.net, has finally changed its policy to allow all
IPv6-connections without prior registration (I:line request).
The default limit that applies is two (2) connections per /48 range (or per /64 in certain cases).
In case two connections are not sufficient for you, it is still possible to request more at http://www.irc6.net
(IPv6 enabled browser required). Make sure to specify a valid reason why you need more than two connections from your range.
This change in policy will have no effect on previously added I-lines. This means that if you already have an
I:line on eu.irc6.net (for example with one or five connections per prefix allowed), that I:line will stay intact.
Note that the open policy is only applicable to eu.irc6.net, which means that you will not be able to connect,
without an individually added I:line (requested through http://www.irc6.net),
to any other server that IRC6 might share I:lines with (irc6.estpak.ee or similar).

ircnet.eversible.com linked
18.06.2007
Recently a new american server - ircnet.eversible.com was linked to the network.
It will also serve as an "open server" and thus be available to people
with no IRCnet servers in their region.
The server is located in Miami and provided by Eversible Internet Hosting Services.
Welcome to our network!
In loving memory of Ville Hakomäki
05.04.2007

He will be remembered for his dedication to this network, and for all the good times.
May the peace be with him..
Yes, We're still alive!
10.04.2006

Book about IRC
17.11.2005
Letter we received:
My name is Frank Baron. I am a writer whose current project is a book about chat. I’ve wandered the IRC corridors for several years and have met some wonderful people and had many great experiences. I’d like to add others’ opinions and experiences to my own. To that end, I’ve devised a questionnaire that I would like to be made available to as many chatters as possible.
I’ve been writing since the mid-70s and have been published in regional and national newspapers and magazines in the US and Canada. My previous book, What Fish Don’t Want You to Know, has recently gone to a 2nd printing.
The url which contains the description of my proposed new book and contact information is:

Stop of irc.ircnet.is
31.08.2005
Unfortunately the ircnet.is staff decided to stop their services. The client server irc.ircnet.is has already K-lined all users
with an informative message, tomorrow the hub ircd.ircnet.is and irc.ircnet.is will probably get delinked.
That means that also the "remote kill" statistics page will cease to exist.
Users from Iceland are advised use the other server - irc.simnet.is. Bye *.ircnet.is!
New UK server
18.08.2005
IRCnet is pleased to welcome a new British server - ircnet.kewlio.net.uk. It will serve the people from the

irc.starman.ee hardware failure
10.06.2005
irc.starman.ee experienced a hardware failure and is down at the moment. It will be back next week.
open.pl.ircnet.net was linked
22.04.2005
Some days ago a new IRC server was linked to the network.
The server is located in Poland at the Kazimierz Wielki University, Bydgoszcz.
It is an "open server" and should allow people without an IRCnet server
in their country to access IRCnet. Therefore warszawa.irc.pl and lublin.irc.pl
will stop serving foreign clients soon. The SID for the server was not choosen from
the 616 (ISO country code for Poland) pool, but is 0PNP.
0PN means open server and P stands for Poland. The other open servers irc1.us.ircnet.net
and us.ircnet.org are about to switch to a SID with the 0PN prefix too.
ircnet.choopa.net linked
09.04.2005
A new US server ircnet.choopa.net was linked today. It is located in Jersey City, NJ and open
just for North American IP ranges. For more information read the MOTD. You might also
want to check out http://www.choopa.net
Welcome to IRCnet!
irc.telecom.sk & irc.nctu.edu.tw delinked
11.03.2005
Unfortunately irc.telecom.sk and irc.nctu.edu.tw have been delinked.
irc.telecom.sk is gone because the hardware
was too weak for the 2.11 ircd upgrade.
Slovakian Users are advised to use the two other existing servers irc.fei.tuke.sk
and irc.nextra.sk
Taiwanese Users should use their two existing servers irc.seed.net.tw
and irc.freebsd.org.tw
[Updated] New Danish Server linked - irc.dotsrc.org
22.01.2005
Update:
irc.dotsrc.org replaces sunsite.dk to reflect the new name of the Project!
The danish chapter of IRCnet has linked a new server
irc.dotsrc.org. It's located at DAREnet The Danish Research Network and open to all users from Denmark.
Welcome to the network!
New Czech Server - irc.osanet.cz - linked

2.11.0 ircd
03.11.2004
Edit: On 21.12.2004 2.11.0 ircd was finally released!
Edit: 2.11.0 release was revoked after some bugs again (there even was a 2.11.0p1), now the latest release is the 6th beta (2.11.0b16). Very confusing.
Today (2.11.) the final version of the new IRCnet IRC daemon - 2.11.0 has been released.
After all the alpha and beta versions this is the first stable version
of our ircd. The release came totally unexpected and previously
unannounced, however we are happy with it as it was long awaited.
As usually you can get it from: ftp://ftp.irc.org/irc/server/
Note: before all features (like longer nicks) will be usable
the whole network will need to switch to 2.11.
At that point we will probably get a 2.11.1 release.
Supernews servers said good-bye to IRCnet
02.09.2004
The hub supernews.ircnet.org and the client server eris.ircnet.org permanently left IRCnet.
Their explanation can be found here.
Thanks for providing the service and
for letting us know such fast what's going on with the server.
Supernews hardware failure
19.08.2004
Edit:
The servers disappeared on 31.8. again. No reason or estimated return time was given.
Edit:
As you may have noticed the servers are back after just one night of downtime.
The American client server eris.ircnet.org and its hub supernews.ircnet.org are gone temporarily due to a hardware failure.
New Swedish Server - irc.desync.se - linked
18.08.2004
Today a new Swedish Server has been linked to the network. It can be reached at irc.desync.se
More details about the Sponsors, the Server and the Policies can be found at www.desync.se. Welcome to the network!

New Slovenian Server & more News
24.07.2004
Edit:
On 29.7.2004 at about 20:30 irc.uni-mb.si was shutdown as irc.triera.si was linked to replace the server located at the University in Maribor (the staff remains the same).
Today a new Slovenian Server was linked to IRCnet. It's named irc.triera.si, and is sponsered by Triera Internet. It allows access for all Slovenian Users - as usual more can be found in their /motd
Welcome to IRCnet!

eu.irc6.net is now accepting I-Line requests through their new request system, available at http://www.irc6.net (IPv6 compatible browser required).
Users from Lithuania are welcome on irc.apollo.lv!
06.07.2004
As of 28.06.2004 the irc.apollo.lv administration has opened access for Lithuanian users, who also may want to enjoy goodies of IRCnet, as there are still no LT servers and Latvia got one of the closest routes for them.
We also hope that someday Lithuania will appear with their own server
again on the IRCnet.
IPV6 servers news update
29.06.2004
RealROOT.be has now closed their server for ipv6 connections. The
servername (irc.ipv6.realroot.be) is now pointing towards
the new server eu.irc6.net, where all the old realroot I-lines have been
moved to.
eu.irc6.net has returned
28.06.2004
Update:
I-lines can now be requested at www.irc6.net - an IPv6 link and an IPv6 capable Browser is required!
The eu.irc6.net IPv6 enabled IRC server came back today after about a year of absence. It's hosted at a new location. For more info read the MOTD. Welcome back!
And yet another new server...
14.06.2004
The swedish chapter of IRCnet has linked a new server
ircnet.bahnhof.se. It's sponsored by an ISP called Bahnhof. The name may sound a bit silly to the german speaking
people. Welcome to the network!
New US server
13.06.2004
Edit:
There is another new American IRCnet server eris.ircnet.org, hosted by Supernews in San Jose now.
The us.ircnet.org server came back today (it was linked a while ago already - 28.5., but then just suddenly disappeared). It's running 2.11 IRCD now and should hopefully stay here for a longer time to serve our users from the USA.
irc.netsurf.de announces delink
03.06.2004
Unfortunately irc.netsurf.de will be delinked on 1.7. because of DDoS attacks against the server. The Sponsor, Easynet Germany, couldn't support this anymore, as the attacks were affecting their network.
More can be read here: R.I.P. irc.netsurf.de (German only)
German Users are advised to use one of the remaining 7 German Servers.
2.11.0 ircd released
01.04.2004
Edit:
The news of course was an april joke! The latest 2.11 version is alpha 6 and
the NICK command will be avaliable also in the final release of the ircd.
Today the long awaited new 2.11.0 version of the IRCnet IRC daemon was released.
After all the alpha releases, this is the first final (hopefully bug-free) release.
You can get it from: ftp://ftp.irc.org/irc/server/
Nicks have finally become obsolete and replaced with UIDs (unique IDs), thus the NICK command
was removed. For compatibility reasons choosing your nick will be allowed just until the
whole network upgrades to 2.11.

29.03.2004
About two weeks ago a new UK Server has been linked to the Network! It can be reached at uk.ircnet.org - Welcome on the Network! :)

Edit:
There is a new serious mIRC bug (allowing others to crash your IRC client) not yet fixed with mIRC 6.11.

You should /ignore -wd * as a workaround.
After the new version of the daemon there is also a new version of the popular IRC client available.
All previous versions of mIRC contain an exploitable bug in handling of userhost replies from the server. Users should upgrade as soon as possible.
