Irc Chat Software Question - Starlow - 04-11-2015
where did VG get the software? and how did they host it on their site?
RE: Irc Chat Software Question - Petie - 04-11-2015
The software was UnrealIRCd and can be found at http://www.unrealircd.com/. I also used the Anope IRC services, available at http://www.anope.org/. Hosting it required compiling and building the software and configuring it and a server to put it on.

IRC isn't coming back. There's currently a Skype chat and we're thinking about replacing that with Discord given a little more testing but that's not ready for the public yet.

why do you guys hate irc so much?
RE: Irc Chat Software Question - Skyla Doragono - 02-03-2016
Because IRC is old, outdated, and easily exploitable technology when there are better options out there?
(Maybe?)

We don't, actually. But it was a ton of effort to set up, difficult to integrate, and ultimately pointless because it was never used. Simpler options (both from a management standpoint and also for the users) presented themselves with superior features and we moved on. I actually really like the concept of IRC but it's just not worth doing when it's only used for like two days and then dies.
