Moofspeak IRC Network

Welcome

Welcome to the Moofspeak IRC Network. Created as a collaboration between two pre-existing networks, our primary focus is Mac-centric channels. However, we welcome anyone who wants a stable and non-political home for their channel.

Our network consists of around 10 client servers and a full set of services.

Unlike large networks, we have the same sense of community and selflessly helping others that you find almost all the way through the Mac enthusiast community. Don't hesitate at any time to drop into #Moofspeak and/or msg one of us if you have any queries.

You are also welcome to contact us through this web site, such as if you're having trouble connecting.

Quick Commands

Register your nickname:
/msg nickserv register password email@address
Don't forget your password! We cannot recover it if you forget it!

Login (identify) your nick whenever you connect to IRC:
/msg nickserv identify password
Many IRC programs have a place to put your nickserv password so you can automatically login.

Request a virtual hostmask:
/msg hostserv request something.com
It must have at least one "." in it for the request to work. Opers will then approve requested hostmasks at regular intervals.

See here for more detail.

Beware of people saying they work for Apple

Wednesday, 19 August 2009 18:37

Recently a person has been attracting the attention of people interested in iPhone application development by claiming they work under contract for Apple, reporting, no less, to the VP of the iPhone division! As the likely-hood of this is close to nil, due to a: A contractor would never report directly to a VP, and b: Apple staff are forbidden from mentioning their employment in forums and chatrooms, we advise people to take such claims with a grain of salt.

New better web chat

Last Updated on Monday, 19 May 2008 11:46 Monday, 21 April 2008 20:58

Courtesy of Mibbit.com, we now have a considerably better web chat system, replacing the old and crappy pjirc Java chat. Not only is it more reliable and better looking, but you can resize the window and has proper tabs for each channel. Let us know what you think in our poll.

Channel owners: You'll notice web chat users appear as This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .address. Make sure that your ops do NOT ban *!Mibbit@* in your channel or your members wont be able to use the web chat.

Update: I've changed a few of the default settings for the web chat so it works a bit more like a real IRC client. For some reason, the default settings which included these features were not being enabled as expected.

Update 2: Mac users must be using at least Safari 3.0 to use the web chat. Safari 2.0 will not work!

Vhosts

If you weren't already aware, you can request a custom "vhost" for your nickname (after you've registered with NickServ) which will turn:

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

into something better looking, such as:

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Well, maybe not that, but whatever you want after the "@" can be requested. Just type this:

/msg hostserv request whatever.vhost.you.want. The only limitations are, it must have one full-stop in there.

If you aren't yet registered with NickServ, for information, see this guide.
