MintIRC is an IRC Network started originally for the Hak5 community, but is also open to any organization. Our goal is to provide a safe, user-friendly environment for the many channels and users we provide service to. We offer many different services, as well as a friendly and knowledgeable network staff.
To connect to the network, you can use the address irc.mintirc.net or view our list of Servers. Also, a java chat is available for usage.
Before connecting to the network, we ask that you first read and agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. Enjoy your stay on the network!
If you are interested, SpamServ is available to any channel that wishes to have an anti-spam service monitor their channel. SpamServ prevents against common spam terms (such as offensive URLs) and other common spamming criteria. To have SpamServ join your channel, simply /join #help and request that it be added to your channel by an operator.
Just making sure everyone knows, MintIRC will remain the home of #hak5. Also, congratulations to the Hak5 team on their new partnership with Revision3.
As always, we welcome any and all communities (within our AUP of course) to come and create a channel on our network. If you have any questions, please feel free to /join #help on the network.
We have recently opened up a Twitter account for the network that we will use to announce any minor server connectivity issues as well as more major issues.

It seems I never made a post about our server developments or new website.
Much thanks goes out to the ever-wonderful dhp1080 for this great website we have built upon WordPress. Previously we were using some junky wiki woftware, but WordPress allows us much more flexibility.
Second, as many of you know, longtime server apollo.mintirc.net will be leaving the network. However, it will be replaced by not one, but three, yes three, new servers. We welcome strange.mintirc.net, gray.mintirc.net and fafner.mintirc.net to the network. For more information on these servers, visit our Server List page.
As always, thank you for using MintIRC and we hope you enjoy your stay.
