The online network for everyone!
The story of Delirus IRC Network
The Delirus IRC Network was originally started in 2015 by sysfail,
known then as the AusIRC Network. Based in Central West NSW in
Australia, the network grew over a few years to incorporate some
regular users and well known and loved bots for playing various games.
Our main network channel is #delirus and
this is used for general discussion and playing some games. The
network help channel is also #delirus and any users may join and ask
their questions. In our network channel Network staff are usually
shown by the "&" user status, network regulars are shown by the "@"
user status and some bots and VIPs are shown by the "%" user status.
What is IRC?
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a text-based chat system. It enables discussions among any number of participants in so-called conversation channels, as well as discussions between only two partners — for example, in question-and-answer dialogues. Any participant may open a new conversation channel, and a single computer user can also take part in several such simultaneous channels....

Users should not attempt to use OperServ - ALL use of OperServ (or attempted use) is logged.
Sentinel: Sentinel is a BotServ psuedo-bot that automatically joins all registered channels, users can use BotServ to see what they can do with this bot in their channel. Any request to have Sentinel removed will be accepted.
