We’re pleased to announce that the Flying Monkey IRC Network now has an official listing in the Retro Directory, filed under the Websites category. If you’re not familiar with Retro Directory, it’s a community-curated catalog celebrating the old-school corners of the internet — sites, services, and networks that keep the spirit of the pre-social-media web alive. It felt like a natural fit for an IRC network still going strong in an era dominated by Discord and Slack.

IRC has been quietly powering communities since 1988, and we like to think Flying Monkey carries that torch forward — a place for real-time chat without the algorithm, the ads, or the noise. Getting a nod from a directory built around preserving that kind of internet culture feels like a fitting recognition.
