The server software was also released to the public, and was based on IRC. Clients existed for Windows 95/98, and MS-DOS. More information about the service and software can be found in the Help section of the site.
The site has been restored to the version that existed in 2000, after migrating from a previous site. All download options have also been preserved. Stay tuned, a server just might become available for use.
