About Us
ArloriaNET was originally formed in 2007 when its founder, Sheepeep, created an IRC network as a technical support method for ConvoPad, an image-based messaging tool. Both proved popular, and outgrew their original intent. Nowadays, ArloriaNET is a growing community with regular, dedicated members.Servers
There are currently five servers running ArloriaNET, each run by a different IRC operator. All servers on the network support SSL connections on port 6697, as well as regular connections on port 6667.Lennier
Lennier was brought to the network when it was clear that ArloriaNET had outgrown its original servers. Lennier, named to serve unconditionally, rose to meet that demand.Connect now (lennier.irc.arloria.net)

Tonmatsu
Years after Freyja, Tonmatsu was set up in a well-intentioned attempt to bring another server to ArloriaNET. Unfortunately, the host chosen for the server was unstable and the decision to delink it again was made in the following days. Tonmatsu has the record for the shortest link in ArloriaNET history.
