Mibbit is shutting down

Hello users,

On the 30th of August, Mibbit will be shutting down.

We have made this decision because the site is no longer commercially viable, and the creator and the maintainer of Mibbit are both unable to keep the site up to date and relevent. After this date, all user data will be removed from our servers.

Our recommended replacement service is Kiwi IRC. Check them out! They have a very similar service that is actively kept up to date.

Thank you very much for using Mibbit and thank you to everyone who has helped along the way :) It has been a pleasure to build and provide the service.

- Jimmy & Tom

You can embed Youtube clips, use a pastebin, share the channel URL with friends and lots more.
