IRC7, also known as MSNLD is a small group of MSN Chat users that have
brought back the MSN Chat client, an ActiveX control from the late
1990s to early 2000s.

Strangely, the Discord has blown up in recent days, with many (mostly
scripters) users from the time joining in on the fun, but sadly, there
are many users that have passed away in the two decades, or are just
missing.

I thought I'd extend the invite to anyone who exists in r/irc that
used to use MSN Chat (IRCX). The discord link is
[https://discord.gg/3aCN9b3T](https://discord.gg/3aCN9b3T). We're
always looking for those that might be able to help with the project,
too (Web development, Documentation, etc.)

MSN Chat was an IRCX based system that required GateKeeper /
GateKeeperPassport authentication to access the service.

This is my first reddit post. Just to clarify that screenshot is
current with the OCX connected to IRC7, not a screenshot from the past
lol.

i remember the days of crashing msn comic chat 2.5 users on standard
irc servers by simply typing "APPEARS AS /CON/CON", which was
hilarious to watch groups drop like flies.

oh internet adventures from the early 2000s was loads of fun.
