Welcome to the Rizon IRC Network homepage. We have slimmed the page down to help provide a more unified and simplier interface for communicating and assisting new users.
If this is your first time here, welcome. Be sure to give the Web IRC client a try on the right or search the forums for information on how to setup your own personal chat room.
How to add Rizon webchat to your site:
As some of our users know we have been working with a new webchat and trying to add the things to it that have been requested. One of the big things we have worked on is making the webchat very easy to add to websites that our users may own. If you own a website and want to embed the webchat into your site its as simple as going to our embed information site and answering 4 questions about settings in which you want your webchat to have while being displayed on your site and then simply adding the webchat code that it gives you into your website. The site for this can be found at:
Another new feature we have added to our webchat is themes, so far we have only added 4 themes but we do have many plans to add more as we try different coloring schemes and figure out what looks good. If you have any requests on coloring schemes you would like to see feel free to give us information and we will look into adding them. The different themes can be viewed here:
Embedding Rizon Webchat on to your website is a great way not only to increase your channel userbase but to meet the average user that is using your website. This can tell you a lot about the type of people who visit the site and maybe what things they are interested in that you could improve on the site and increase traffic.
Rizon has been asked are we going to be banning mibbit like many other networks have as of lately? No, we will not be banning mibbit users from Rizon, while we feel our qchat is far better and has many more coders working on it to add new things to it we will not deny access to mibbit users for that reason. But we do suggest that websites that have embedded mibbit at least look over our qchat and consider changing to it.
One of our next goals for our webchat is to work on Nickserv registration and identify forms to make these easier for webchat users who are new to irc. We are fully open to any suggestions our users have and ask that if you have any thoughts, comments, or suggestions that you post them here.

We have discussed and voted on some new changes on Rizon that we hope will improve things for our users. They are as follows:
1. We have decided to increase the time it takes for a nickname to expire from 30 days to 90 days. The main reason for this is to solve when people go on vacations and lose their nicknames or simply don't come on Rizon for a month to find out their nickname is gone.
2. We are changing the default channel access system to xop. Users can still change their rooms to access levels rather than aop/sop just like before but new channels will by default be set to aop/sop as it tends to be easier for newer users.
3. Due to the increase in expire times on nicknames we will be lowering the amount of nicknames allowed in a group from 20 nicks to 10 nicknames. We feel a user does not need to have 20 nicknames. *
*Nicknames that already have over 10 grouped nicks will not lose the extras they will simply not be able to register additional ones.
4. /msg nickserv drop command has an added code/confirmation system to prevent accidental dropping of nicks.
5. Channels will no longer have their last used time updated by the /msg chanserv info command.
