Hollimyer was founded on May 18th, 2004 by Nova and BarkerJr after splitting their servers from the SandNET IRC network. Both had been administrators on SandNET for numerous years and have plenty of experience running IRC networks. Supplemented with knowledgeable IRC operators, Hollimyer aims to provide the users with an enjoyable chat experience.

It has evolved into a family oriented chat/fun server. Online games seem to be a big focus of our family fun. These includes, Uno card game, Trivia, Hangman, Poker, Hunt, Fish and a few other small fun games to pester your friends with.

On Hollimyer you will find different channels to suit different varieties of personalities, people, and interests. You will also find that there are no politics as you may find on different networks. Everyone that has joined our network has made friends. If you feel you would enjoy making friends and having fun, then this is the place for you. Feel free to invite your friends, also.

No longer do bots sit idle and take up space. Its live folks, live chats and fun in the sun. Security is tight to keep fake users or bots outa the network. You can feel the family enviroment in #Hollimyer. Just friends having alot of fun.

Join our family and fun times!

Why Us?
