Dark Shade Networks was formed after a group of IRC users decided to defect from the usual grind of large IRC networks, while providing users with a place to chat freely and confidently.

Dark Shade Networks strives to be on the forefront of new technologies and features in regards to the IRC community by providing new services such as our AJAX webchat gateway provided by mibbit, our development into providing IPv6 connectivity, encryption-based access, and other features.
