This looks exactly like Shout[1]. This seems to be an IRC channel, and you have a web interface (using Shout) hosted on your domain, with some of Shout's features removed so that people can't use it to connect to other IRC servers. And you aren't giving any credit to Shout.

*EDIT: My apologies, I totally jumped the gun there. I didn't see the "?" at the bottom, which states that that's exactly what this is. I still think that you could give a little more credit to them, though. In my opinion, this is more than just "based" on Shout, as your credits say.

shout is MIT opensource, we ack the use of the looknfeel (see our about). Kwak is by no mean IRC backed, it's our own dev work based on Meteor.

The interface will change eventually to support all the features that we intend.

We first started by mapping IRC features and for that shout is super convenient .. but it is just the start ;)


Shout is MIT, so they don't need to give any credit.
