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.

 

New Aussie server: outback.moofspeak.net

Those of you in Australia will be happy to know that we now have an Australian server again, outback.moofspeak.net, provided by chrome.
 

IRC from work

Many of you will be happy to know that you can now connect to moofspeak from behind a firewall, as long as that firewall permits web access.  Simply point your IRC client to dualcore.moofspeak.net port 8080.
