PimpBNC is versatile IRC bouncer software that is compatible with Windows, Linux, Unix, and BSD operating systems.
PimpBNC is a popular IRC bouncer that operates seamlessly across multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, Unix and BSD. Developed by Tedd Hansen and Jarand Moen, the software is updated regularly based on feature requests, feedback, and new technologies.
Tedd mostly handles the socket/hooks/protocol/core and Jarand contributes to argument parsing, config-reading, and planning. Every Monday, the developers meet to discuss tech-related issues and PimpBNC/PimpSearch.
One of PimpBNC's standout features is that it is entirely open source and free-to-download under the GPL license. Moreover, it is written in PERL, which is ideal for those with experience in C/C++, Visual Basic, Java or PHP.
PimpBNC has undergone various rewrites, including from Beta 7 to Beta 8, transforming from a static ball of code into a modular ball. Additionally, from Beta 11 to Beta 12, many features of PimpBNC were improved for Release 0.9.1.
Among the many benefits of PimpBNC are its user-friendly web-based configuration, easy-to-use web-based primitive chat, comment and bug-report system, and being platform-independent. It has extensive module support and a configuration file that enables users to customize several aspects of the software's operation.
PimpBNC also supports translation, caching, nick retention, TCP/IP bindings, and logging of essential text. Moreover, it does not require root/administrator privileges or any extra libraries, and a single process is sufficient even for those with restricted shells.
In summary, PimpBNC is a comprehensive bouncer solution that caters to all daily requirements and more. Although still under development, it has already proven to be an excellent option for those seeking an IRC bouncer solution.
