Hi

For those that don't know, I started an IRC server in order to host a
talisman chat channel. I would have used freenode, but that doesn't seem
to be a thing anymore and I wasn't sure where I should go, so rolled my
own.

I'm trialing it out for a couple of months.

Anyway, I know there is a really good IRC door for windows (MannIRC i
think it's called) and some BBSes have it built in (Synchronet, does
mystic?) anyway, for the rest of us I'm not sure of many choices.

So I stripped out the magichat stuff from magichat door and replaced it
with IRC stuff. (Don't worry if you want to use magichat you still can, I
just renamed it dIRC for Door IRC - clever name hey...)

It's very basic at present, and very rough. It allows the user to chat in
a predefined (by the sysop) channel. It supports SSL irc servers as well
as plain IRC. users can change nicks, send private messages or chat in
the channel.

Anyway, the repo is here: https://gitlab.com/apamment/dirc

there's no instructions yet, and no windows version (I haven't tried
compiling it on windows yet, but will soon) so if you're feeling
adventurous, feel free to give it a go.

My irc server is irc.happylandbbs.com:6697 (supporting SSL only)
#talisman is where I'm hanging out :) but it should work with any IRC
server. (and of course the server works with any irc client)
