sales Valuable 3 Letter IRC.COM acquired by London Trust Media

[anantj]

London Trust Media has acquired irc.com with plans to start a new and improved IRC service. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to determine the exact date or price of the sale.

Visit IRC.com for the new owner's plans for the domain and service!

Future for IRC looks good.

I don't get it'; why did he need irc.com to revive irc? Anyone who knows irc does not need domain names or anything in this matter to connect or revive as a community lol.

Why did Cars.com want cars.com? Why does hotels.com need hotels.com? This is one of the most powerful brands/domains for IRC. It is a direct match, easy to remember and recall, very well known abbreviation and perfectly represents what it is intended for!

Oh and your second sentence is very wrong. You NEED a domain name to host the relay servers. How else are users going to get on the network and channels? Of course he needs a domain name and what is more powerful than IRC.com itself?

This guy connected to Dalnet; in our terms back in the day Dalnet was lame as shit lol; Efnet Servers were the place to be as efnet was the piracy and legit underground part of the internet.

If anything this guy has a better chance using irc.com as a crypto startup of some kind for decentralized chat.

what's the next sale; bbs.com?

I read IRC.com and I love the story and the passion and I feel the story can resonate with many people. I wish the website luck!

Looks like London Trust Media Holdings already owns PIA and freenode. That's a powerful combination in the IRC community. I'd love to see IRC make a comeback.

IRC.com? AKA Internet Relay Chat? I'm surprised that domain wasn't with an end user ages ago. Congratulations to the seller!

It would be interesting to know the sale price. It's a VCC .com and it's an acronym that has a well establoshed meaning and a whole community around it (there's IRC's all over the internet. I feel $xxx,xxx to $x,xxx,xxx for the sales price but I could be wrong since I'm rather new to this.

I like the name

eg no one trusts them

Allegedly
