ZiRC

ZiRC is a small IRC network. It has over 1,000 users online at peak times.

ZiRC began operation as a private network, and opened to the public on 21 March 2001. The un-official irc channel of the Something Awful forums was originally hosted on this network.

ZiRC bans AOL and TTNet users due to their lack of assistance with vandals and spammers on their network. (All bans that were established prior to the split were lost; see below).

On 10 July 2007, most of ZiRC split up due to issues in leadership, with most of the admins and servers creating the synIRC IRC network. Only a single server remains to host the ZiRC network. On 15 July, all channels advertising the new network were banned.

On 25 October 2007, ZiRC went offline.

Committees
* Some regular users form an officially recognized User Committee which handles complaints about network operators.
* A committee of experienced IRC operators form the Routing Committee to manage servers and network security.
* A number of web designers and coders form the Web Committee to maintain the website.
