StarLink-IRC.Org Info:

They host many rooms (or channels) for many members (in recovery or to have clean “family” fun).  Over the years, many of the trusted servants in our #SLAA Online Group room have come to know many of the StarLink-IRC.Org operaters on a close nick-name basis.  They indirectly support our recovery; they are aware of our room(s) and our purpose.  Since SLIRC hosts rooms for SLAA, SCA, SAA, and also several rooms for AA/NA and other recovery or support programs (like autism), they have been in a unique, yet supportive, position of occassionally recommending our room to people that come onto the SLIRC servers and are “lost” in the world of Internet Relay Chat.

If you ever need some technical assistance or need to report a person for violating some of our strongest behavior concerns (actively seeking sex; advertising/spam; suggesting other networks than SLIRC; warez; or recurring abusive language/behavior), please do not hesitate to seek advise from them.  They tend to “hang out” in two rooms — #channels and #terranova.

Once there, you can verify that “members” in that room are really SLIRC staff with any of several commands (omit the quotation marks).

• “/msg deathstar oplist” or
• “/msg cstar admin” or
• “/msg cstar verify nickname”
• “/msg cstar help” to get a general rundown of how to report a problem if no one is available

Please also review the tab to the left called “Behavior & Problems” for detailed instructions about the operation of the #SLAA Online Group. We certainly encourage you to email us at slaa@slaaonline.org, but you can also email SLIRC at abuse@starlink-irc.org.

Just as our room is proud of our record attendance of 35 members (over 30 members on very many occassions), SLIRC is proud to have reached FOUR HUNDRED online connections on Fri-3-January-2003.  When founded, about 200 peak users may seem slow compared to nets of hundreds of thousands of users.  But SLIRC’s policy is, and always has been, to make the net a clean, safe, and friendly place to chat.  Their goal has been to RUN the net, so what you see, is what you get.  Channel lists aren’t inflated... if a channel is abandoned, it is deleted.  There are no bots holding channels open to inflate the channel counts either.   It's an honest net.  They deliver what they promise, and try their best to make sure they are delivering what people want in a family-friendly chat network.

StarLink-IRC was founded on one concept:  A cybertown, where the net is the village and the channels are the “homes.”  The SLIRC staff is simply the groundskeepers, road crews, and tourist bureau for our little cybertown.  It is the residents... our users and visitors... that make it the pleasant place to chat that it has become over the years.  They can just dust the neighborhood... it is all of us that make it a place worth visiting.
