Moo?
MooIRCd2 is a small-time modified IRCD-Hybrid daemon and accompanying network, based on a set of design criteria very specially tailored to the few who use it. Our goal is to support features we find useful, and really nothing else. All things seen as un-necessary will be stripped out and fed to the 'gators in the interests of cleaner code and enhanced stability.
MooIRCd IRC Network
The MooIRCd network is essentially a test network for the MooIRCd server software, but interestingly the two projects give life to each other. The network wouldn't exist if we didn't need to test the server (because honestly, who in their right mind would want to run an IRC network?), and the server really wouldn't have gone anywhere in the last 5 years if we didn't want to have a nice network.
Resulting from this circular logic is a small, tight-knit network that has a very specific vision of where it wants to go. As long as we can sit and enjoy our time on MooIRCd, we honestly don't mind who (if anyone) joins us, as long as no one interferes with our fun.
If you join us on MooIRCd, you'll immediately notice the absence of "over-done" services, massive lists of features and other annoying nonsense that makes something as simple as cybersex with a prison inmate otherwise awfully complicated.
You'll find that if you start your own channel, with our custom-built channel registration service, you, some users and possibly a robot (such as eggdrop) are all that's needed to keep the channel quite safe. If you are looking for a network with "complete services", we'd suggest you try another. Watch this space for beginner's tutorials on managing your MooIRCd channel.
IRCX?
MooIRCd has gained a lot of publicity in recent years for being one of the first open-source IRCX servers. Well, truth be told, we're merely "IRCX-like". That is to say, we support the additional channel mode (+q and the '.' prefix) and that's about it. Ownerkeys/hostkeys and the likewise channel properties are coming, but probably not as you're expecting - suffice to say we have big plans for how they're going to work and they don't involve script-kiddie PROP wars.
MooIRCd2 does support Efnet-style TS5, which helps mitigate the effects of server splits.
