[edit] History

IRCHighway is a large IRC-network with around 10,000 users connected every day. The network consists of over 20 servers scattered all over the world and was founded in 2000 as fxpers.net. The network was later re-named irc-chat and had at the time about 3000 users. Around February 2003 the network was once again renamed to IRCHighway after the split of around 1/3 of its servers. It gained the majority of its new userbase after DALNet experienced some extensive DDoS attacks and was offline for quite some time.

[edit] IRCd and Services

The network uses a modified version of the UltimateIRCD and the Anope services system which consists of:

ChanServ - A module for registering and managing channels.
NickServ - A module for registering your nick.
BotServ - A module that lets your channel have free bots hosted by services.
MemoServ - A module for sending and receiving memo's on IRC.
