#83 of 100 English Est. 2026 InspIRCd-4 Verified

Flying Monkey IRC is an Aussie-run network for people who love old-school chat. We love the retro computing side and dedicate a channel to that - vintage hardware, old-school software, that whole "vintage internet" energy - but we're just as much a general hangout too. Tech chat, gaming, random 3am conversations, whatever. We're small, sure, but small means every regular actually matters here. No apps, no algorithms, just people typing at each other in real time. Jump on in.

--------------------------------------------------------
WELCOME TO FLYING MONKEY AUSTRALIA IRC
--------------------------------------------------------

Basic Rules
-----------

- This is not a file sharing network, please no fserves!

- Do not do anything that creates any legal liability
for our network or staff, in Australia or elsewhere!

- While we try to be fairly relaxed, we also expect
you to behave like an adult.

- Individual channels are free to set their own rules,
provided they do not conflict with these rules.

- Anybody found to be breaking the rules will be dealt
with as server operators see fit.

- Otherwise, don't be a dick!


This service utilises standard ChanServ and NickServ.

This server accepts plaintext connections on port 6667
and encrypted connections on port 6697. Connections
using encryption are preferred, however plaintext
connections are available to support vintage computer
enthusiasts.

This MOTD was sent using 100% recycled electrons.


A note for Nick Registration: Some email providers
such as Hotmail and Gmail have quite agressive spam
filters, which may limit your ability to receive
password reset emails as our hosting company OVH
sadly ends up on block lists quite a bit. We
recommend learning how to properly manage your
passwords using a password manager, to reduce the
chance you'll need to use this facility.


Visit our websits to keep track of any scheduled
maintenance - https://www.flyingmonkey.au - where
you can also submit funny IRC Quotes!
