This server is part of the IRCNOW network of independent servers. As part of the IRCNOW network, we operate one of the IRC servers, and one of the virtualization hosts in the network. The goals of this network include providing documentation, support, and training to users who wish to learn to run and manage their own network servers. Freedom Of the Users, By the Users, For the Users.

Planetofnix also provides hosting services for the Minetest game, Exile. Specifically, the wiki, ircbot (locbot), and the development servers are hosted and managed by this team. The Public game server "Land of Catastrophe" is hosted by another IRCNOW network member - freeirc.org. Freeirc.org also provide the matrix bridge for the game channels.
