oftc-hybrid7/bc

Our IRCD (IRC daemon) is a lightly hacked version of oftc-hybrid, which is itself a modified version of ircd-hybrid7.

ircd-hybrid7 is an extremely robust production-class ircd designed for EFNet.

OFTC's patchset combined with our changes make ircd-hybrid much more appropriate for smaller networks.

The current version is oftc-hybrid7/bc6(dev5)
