About Us

Network History:

ObsidianIRC was founded towards the end of 2011 and the start of 2012 by Jordan and Ishaq. ObsidianIRC was launched originally on Unreal and Atheme, but was then changed to Anope, and then shortly afterwards back to Atheme again due to preference from users and staff. ObsidianIRC has hosted various large companies and free services over the years including BlueVM, HostUS, EliteBNC, PanicBNC, GeekBouncer and many others.
