IrCQNet (ICQ IRC Services) is ICQ's IRC Network.
History
IrCQNet began in 1998, in the same year ICQ LLC was acquired by AOL. It is a small network in comparison, at the same time it is a heavily moderated network, especially when it comes to use of ICQ run channels.
Initially IrCQ-Net begun by using hybrid IRCd and no services. This caused many issues in the form of channel takeovers and proved difficult to moderate. They then decided to switch to Unreal IRCd and use ircservices which helped deal with a lot of the issues.
The terms of services for this network can be found on their website.
