ShadowIRC plugins archive
The ShadowIRC plugins archive is a collection of plugins and their source code for the Macintosh IRC client ShadowIRC, for classic Mac OS (9.2.2 and earlier). This archive was created (at some point in the early 2000s) after most of the plugin websites had disappeared. Cameroon and Apex supplied me with their own plugins directly, and Batshua for providing me with some others.
The archive is mostly complete. I had hoped to get copies of mledford’s plugins, but that will never happen now.
