UnrealIRCd is an open source IRC daemon which was originally a fork off of DALnet's DreamForge IRCd and EliteIRCd. Since development started on UnrealIRCd, around May 1999, many new features have been added, modified, some of which include advanced security features and bug fixes.

According to SearchIRC's statistics, UnrealIRCd is used on the largest number of IRC servers. The largest IRC networks, however, do not use it.

History

UnrealIRCd was originally based off of EliteIRCd, which was founded from DALnet's DreamForge IRCd. However, since the UnrealIRCd team rewrote most, if not all, of the EliteIRCd code, it is commonly referred to as a fork of DreamForge rather than EliteIRCd. UnrealIRCd started out as the IRCd for the mp3fans.net IRC network. Later it was also used on the global-irc.net IRC network.

About a year later, codemastr, currently an UnrealIRCd developer, joined the UnrealIRCd developer team.

Later, Syzop, also currently a developer, joined the developer team.

As of May 24, 2008, nearly a decade after development first started, in May 1999, UnrealIRCd has come from EliteIRCd, a 15-year-old's IRCd, to being in use on more than 1,500 servers, more than any other IRCd.

Future

On July 13, 2007 Stskeeps announced that the future Unreal4.0 would be a fork of InspIRCd.
