Notice of service termination
01.04.2007

Dear users,

it is with sad and regret, that we would like to inform you, that as of 1st of July IRCnet will officially terminate providing it services to users across the world.

This was a hard decision we had to make, but unfortunately the concurrence from Instant messaging services saw us loosing our battle and we will leave with dignity and be remembered as the biggest and greatest IRC network of all time.

Once again, thank you for your contribution and long support!

For further details please contact your local IRC administration.

i mean, it's gotta be a bad april 1st joke, but think about it: could it ever happen, or we are just so used to irc that we'll continue using it, on IRCnet or somewhere else?

LiraNuna: you really should find a real irc network.

Jeenio: think about people you know and then wonder if maybe they'd just pick up and build their own.
Living without IRCnet would be like living without sex. Impossible.

jeenio: is this thread a late april fool's joke, or are you really that desperate for friends on second life?

Any website administrator who posts an April Fool's joke pretending that their site has been
a) closed down
b) hacked
c) taken over by Microsoft
d) closed down after being hacked by Microsoft

should be beaten around the head with an ironically unoriginal baseball bat until they grow an imagination.

Only kidding.

Only kidding about the only kidding.

irc is the good, and then comes jabber. everything else is just a bunch of pure shit for clueless people who likes nifty blinking and beeping stuff eating up half of their computer resource. uhm.. i've just described a demoscener... arg! we're going to die along with irc :(

irc is sooo 90s
T l: EFnet is the original IRC network. *Serv sucks
added on the 2007-04-02 13:52:18 by LiraNuna LiraNuna
and your point regarding ircnet and *serv is...?

liraluna: sorry to spoil your fantasy but as far as i know efnet means = eris free network, so new network without "eris" server, so ircnet is the original "ircnet" after 96 split

EFnet is for warez dudes, Americans, and Norwegians.
