Pirate IRC Network

We've moved. Further updates will be posted on https://pirateirc.net

Please welcome Mikaela who has joined us as an admin of Roubaix-FR. Mikaela hails from PPFI and will be working with the existing admin, Scoffa.

London-UK has been decomissioned. The DNS pool has been updated to use other servers and users should experience minimal downtime.

Fletcher has taken over from Brendan as the admin for Sydney-AU which is hosted by PPAU.

The Piraattipuolue (The Pirate Party of Finland) have moved their server from Lithuania to France. This means that vilnius-lt.pirateirc.net has moved and become roubaix-fr.pirateirc.net. The DNS for the old server now points to roubaix-fr.pirateirc.net. Please remember to update your clients.

Good idea! I've added SHA256 fingerprings to the servers page.

Please make our new server feel welcome: sydney-au.pirateirc.net hosted in Sydney, Australia. This server supports IPv4, certified SSL and SASL authentication and is approved as the official server for the Pirate Party of Australia (the PPAU). This server replaces the delinked ashburn-us leaf. The old backup admin / oper on ashburn-us, Brendan (from the PPAU) is now the primary admin. sydney-au made the primary server for Australian and New Zealand PirateIRC users (using DNS pools au.pirateirc.net and nz.pirateirc.net). Remember to say hi to Brendan in #opers when he appears!

Our US server, sponsored by the Pirate Party of Australia, has delinked from the network. It will shortly be replaced with another server. The admin of ashburn-us, mwheeler, has also left the network. The server has been removed from the DNS pool and you should be automatically redirected to other servers. Our thanks go to mwheeler for providing the server for the past few years.

Update: as of now, Tuesday May 8th we're largely happy most of the upgrades have been completed without incident.

On PirateIRC we use charybdis as our IRC server. There's lots of modes and options that many people don't use so we've mirrored the excellent PDF oper manual written by the authors of charybdis for anyone interested to browse through.

Update: as of earlier this morning the maintenance was completed without issue and stockholm-se is now back. Thanks Swedes!

We've updated the DNS so you can connect immediately if you have an IPv6-enabled Internet connection and IRC client to the Swedish server.

This server supports IPv4, certified SSL and SASL authentication and is approved as the official server for the Piratpartiet Sweden.

This server supports IPv4, IPv6, certified SSL and SASL authentication and is approved as the official server for the Pirate Party UK.
