IRC7 Project

About:

Created & Maintained by @jyonxo and @realJoshByrnes msnld is hosted by @realJoshByrnes irc7 is hosted by SkyCrest

This is the final iteration of a series of projects that began a few years before the close of MSN. The project has been contributed mainly by @jyonxo and @realJoshByrnes. The idea was to have a server that closely mimics what MSN Chat used to provide.

The project was initially created as a C# .NET Service but had undergone multiple iterations, it finally found its way to .NET Core which has gained a lot of traction in the industry and has multiple platform support so this can be targetted for Windows, Linux, MacOS etc.

The server is loosely based on a mixture of the following RFCs:

RFC 1459

draft-pfenning-irc-extensions-04

Also our own data gathered during the time MSN Chat was operational, including eXonytes Realm & other sources

Current project state:

IRC7 uses .NET Core 6.0 and is compiled in VS 2022

Apologies as this is currently in early development so:

  • Codebase is rough
  • Not enough commenting
  • Parts need re-writing/optimization
  • Still WIP
