08.06.2021 Logo of 2021 is here. Also, we are starting the process of migration to a SSL-only network. Since most of the internet protocols, like HTTP, FTP, IMAP, SMTP are already taking advantage of SSL, why not IRC? SSL-only servers will increase security and help combat abusive bots. We will let you know, when the transition will take place.
Also thorough instructions will be posted soon, on how to configure your clients to use SSL.
07.06.2021 IRCd and Services have been updated to the latest versions.
17.11.2019 IRCd and Services will be updated to the latest version on 12.12.2019 around 00:00 CET. Servers and Services will be unavailable for a short period of time and will return shortly. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
08.11.2019 New website is up and running. The logo is also refreshed.
04.01.2015 New year, new server. Happy new year to everyone!
We have moved to a new server. Please update your clients accordingly.
New server address is ee.ircworld.org or alternatively irc.ircworld.org
IPV6 will be unavailable until further notice. Please be patient.
If you are using a secure connection (SSL) to our servers, we suggest to
use proper certificates to enable convenient NickServ identification with
client certificate fingerprint (look for it in your /whois output). This fingerprint
can be added to NickServ by using /ns cert add SPKI:SHA2-256:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
For more information please check /ns help cert.
28.03.2008 We have changed our IRCd and Services. We are now running customized Charybdis IRCd and Atheme services. IRCd and Services related help will be posted soon.
27.03.2008 We welcome our newest server – us.ircworld.org and it’s admin jerrcs. Clients from the US and Canada can now use a server that is closer to them.
