EsperNet

Espernet is the primary IRC network of the MZX community since late 2000 or so. It is home to such channels as #mzx, #neocesspool, #zeux and others. Due to its periodic instability there have been occasional calls to move the community, and #mzx in particular, to another network. However, because of general lack of agreement about what that network should be, the logistics of getting the entire community to agree to move without fracturing it, and temperments which tend to forget the stability problem after a few days until the next time it manifests, the community has largely remained on Espernet to this day.

Espernet is a smallish network compared to some, run on a handful of servers. The chief IRCop is IJ, and he and others can be consulted in #dragonweyr. dormando, once a regular member of the MZX community on IRC but since drifted away, maintains dream, one of the servers.
