About Us:
Sometime around late 2006 early 2007 our founders, SCM from New Zealand and MJP from the Netherlands, both whom had met through their mutual interest in IRC, started discussing the idea of linking their two servers. After a name change or 3 and many many reinstalls later RebelNet was born.
From birth RebelNet has always been based around its IRC network server but had grown into other areas including images, games and internet radio and more.
Currently our focus is the IRCd network however other options may return in the future.
In the early days all of our servers and software were Windows based but around early 2007 in the quest for a more secure network MJP decided to start expermenting with Linux based servers. Not long after SCM was also using Linux on his servers. These days the only Windows based computers at RebelNet are our personal PC's and laptops.
On October 2, 2021, MJP unexpectedly passed away at his residence in Phelps County, Missouri.
SCM continues to maintain the RebelNet IRC network as a lasting tribute to their partnership, MJP's memory and his foundational contributions.
We encourage you to come join us in chat, join to our forums or games, be it to offer a service, to help or just to be a part of our community. Dont forget to bring your inner rebel ;)
