Welcome to the Anthrochat IRC Network.

What is Anthrochat?

Anthrochat is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network for the furry / Anthropomorphic fan subculture. The network was created with freedom of speech in mind- a network where you are free to speak your mind without fearing the system administration's response. Please also review our mission statement

Where is Anthrochat?

Anthrochat is a network of multiple servers from around the world, all located in well established datacenters. To learn more, check out our "Servers" section, listed in the links above.

How do I connect?

Connecting to the Anthrochat network requires an IRC client of some kind. Many are available for all operating systems and computers of any age. Once you have one of those, you configure it to connect to irc.anthrochat.net. Available ports are: 6667, 7000, 7667, 6601 (SSL), and 6697 (SSL). Alternately, you can use our web chat client, which is located above under the "Chat now!" link.

What if someone is doing something that I don't like?

In general, AnthroChat's server administrators do not get involved in mediating quarrels that one user has with another. This includes harrassment and spamming. If you are being spammed by someone, the most effective way to combat it is to ignore it, mentally, ignore it with your IRC client's Ignore feature, or silence it with the server-side /silence command: /silence +nickname
