I have not yet mentioned what changing our name means to this network. As some of you may know we are the same network that used to go by the name of “NexusIRC.org.” Now there is simply a dash in between the words Nexus and IRC (“Nexus-IRC.org”). This change, while not expected, will most certainly allow us more freedom to bring you the best IRC experience possible.

Not only is the new name much more stable, the DNS running from five separate data centers in geographically diverse locations (for redundancy), but we can now create sub addresses on-the-fly. An example of this would be: “stats.nexus-irc.org.”

This will allow our network to grow at any time or rate and makes it easier to keep a stable service running 24/7. We may also be introducing some new services for our users (more on that later).

This website also uses a new layout since the “NexusIRC.org” days and is, in my opinion, a much cleaner one. As always your feedback is welcome; please feel free to contact us any way you prefer, or write a message in the comments!

We hope to see you online.
