Hey fellow dinosaurs

I run a small IRC network that's been around since roughly 2000. Found this subreddit by browsing reddit and tought maybe people here want a join a irc and feel nostalgic.

Created a #oldinternet channel for anyone who wants to be nostalgic and chat like it's 2002 again.

Server: irc.ircworld.org +6697 (+7000, +7070) or 6665-6669 plaintext

Web client: https://webirc.ircworld.org/#/connect?join=oldinternet

No registration needed but its possible, just connect and say hi.

If subreddit mod wants a chanop, hit me up.

EDIT: If anyone is interested, im adding way to offer free bouncer to users.

Leidsin et vana-hea ircworld.org domeen oli maha jäetud, ostsin ära ja ehitasin kogu asja nullist uuesti üles. Vabandust vana omanik.

Saab nicke regada, kanaleid jne. Tavaline IRCi majandus.

Mingeid vanakooli botte pole lisanud kuhugi (kuna enamust pole alles) aga kui keegi tunneb puudust siis leiab lahenduse.

Pikka juttu ei aja. Kes tahab vana hea IRCis chattida või idleda siis andke kuuma, kodumaine server tagasi.

Server: irc.ircworld.org +6697 (tls) (lisaks veel +7000, +7070), plaintexti kuulab ka aga seda ei peaks keegi enam kasutama, 6665-6669.

Extra anonüümne tahate olla siis TOR lubatud, VPN võib saada G-Line kui on dronebl või efnetrbl listis. Soovi korral saab whitelistitud konkreetsed IP vahemikud(d)

Tegin #eesti kanali ka.

Kes tahab siis webirc viib otse kohale => https://webirc.ircworld.org/#/connect?join=eesti

Nagu ikka, feedback and suggestions are welcome!

PS: Moded palun ärge banniga andke :)

Hi

Been working on setting up a self-hosted IRC server and finally got it running properly. Turned out to be a pretty fun project and actually pretty interesting. Honestl never thought a protocol this simple would have so many configuration options and then you add Anope services on top of that its kind of crazy how deep it goes.

I have been irc user like 20 years and never tought before about hosting my own server, okay there is some other motivators also to host it now, but here i am.

Stack: UnrealIRCd 6 + Anope services + some blacklist prevent obvious bots + The Lounge web client(running on Docker), all on Debian 13.

Created a #selfhosted channel just for fun.

irc.ircworld.org:6697 (TLS) 6667 (plaintext) or just hit webirc https://irc.ircworld.org/#/connect?join=selfhosted

If you used IRC back in the day and miss it or just hate how bloated modern chat apps have gotten, come hang out. Probably gonna be tumbleweeds but hey, maybe people find it useful.

Why UnrealIRCd? Just because its well known IRC server software with loads of documentation and knowledge.

Later i plan to add UnrealIRCd Web admin panel, IdleRPG channel and maybe more some fun bots/services and try to link one more IRC server with this one.

Happy to answer questions about the setup if you ever thought about running your own IRC server for privacy reasons or just because self-hosting your own old-school chat sounds awesome.
