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.
Botnet Attack
Last Updated on Saturday, 26 January 2008 11:19 Saturday, 26 January 2008 11:15
Hello all. Sorry our first update in a while has to come in these circumstances. We've recently encountered a botnet attack which means we had to put the server into defcon 1 mode. This bans and disconnects all incoming connections for a short while.
If you still cannot connect, please send your ip address/host mask with a quick "I can't connect" to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we'll get this sorted right away.
Sorry once again for any issues arising from this, and have a great weekend!

P.S This one, you can't blame on nVidia_User. He caught the attack first. Thanks! :D
What is Moofspeak & Contacting us.

A couple of important pieces of information to settle some confusion:
Moofspeak is not run by any other website, ie: The network is not the IRC network of a particular web site. A number of sites have their official channels on Moofspeak, however. Though the moofspeak opers and admins are also in some cases admins of various web sites, Moofspeak is independant of these sites. Your first point of contact regarding anything to do with Moofspeak is the IRC network itself or this website.
If you'd like to contact or talk to a Moofspeak oper or admin, please use the Contact page on here or check which opers/admins are online here. If someone is claiming to be an oper/admin or someone of authority, please check to see if their nickname is under the Opers list on that page. With that note, "Admin" and "MoofbopmD" are not real people, so sending them messages is rather pointless.
