OxIRC is an Internet Relay Chat server intended for use by current and former Oxford University students, and their friends. First founded in 1998, the server features channels such as #keble, a haven for injokes and acronyms.
The date of foundation, and what is actually thought of a the start of OxIRC is shrouded in confusion. Hoggy has an IRC server on canna, but nobody used it, they used ytalk until there were so many people that you only got 2 lines each. They moved onto IRC running on Oakley. Both of these were running in Keble, and populated be Maths and Maths/Comp people from Keble, oh, and Angharad.

'Crispin' is a finalist at Trinity. He is expected to be the last undergraduate to read Mathematics and Computation there. He hopes to pass his exams, if only to spite those who said he wouldn't. (3/2006)
