Privacy Policy Improvements
This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect, and why we collect it. Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export and delete your data.
We've made these updates as new data protection regulations (GDPR) come into effect in the European Union, and have taken this opportunity to make improvements for DareNET users around the world.
The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018.

irc6.darenet.org pool being discontinued
We will be discontinung the irc6.darenet.org pool on December 18, 2015. From that point on, it will redirect to irc.darenet.org, until at least December 2016, which contains both A and AAAA records for our IRC servers. Truth is, we've done a poor job at keeping the irc6.* pool up-to-date, and the majority of IPv6 users are already using the main pool to reach our IPv6-enabled servers.
