Node-3.NET / That IT Company - IRC Network
(Quick connect via KiwiIRC client, click here.)
If you are still one of the ‘old school’ type, that still love to use the one and only original “Instant Messenger”, or at least I think that’s what the kids are calling it these days at least. Well, then look no further, since 2006 we have had a small, but well established and stable IRC(Internet Relay Chat) network for keeping up with each other in real time. I feel old just writing this, but that aside, our network is open and freely available to any and all who want to use it for any legal purposes.
We specifically welcome any and all Open Source projects, groups, and just general individuals looking for an IRC home.
If you do in fact decide to make your Open Source projects IRC network home here at That IT Company(aka node-3.net), and you would like free hosting for your project, please connect to our IRC network using your favorite IRC client(there are a couple of examples below) and contact either silvertear, or tdeath in #thatITcompany, or #p0x. The services we are capable of providing for free include, but are not limited to:
- Web and file/release hosting.
- Storage(ftp/sftp/rsync/cifs/etc).
- Version Control(SVN/Git/etc).
- Bug tracking/management.
- Daily server security audits.
- Anything else within reason upon request.
