Server: irc.xnet.org
Channel: #capaze
Founded: Late 1990s
Focus: General banter, music, warez, coding, underground Aussie internet culture.
#capaze was where net legends, leechers, coders, gamers, and l33t scenesters gathered. No filters. No rules (well... sort of). Just raw, real-time chat, old-school ASCII art, and bots spitting MP3 releases.

This was before Discord. Before social media. Back when you waited for your 56k modem to dial in. #capaze was a slice of Aussie net culture that shaped a generation of digital misfits.
