psyBNC is an IRC network bouncer or BNC. psy is short for psychoid, the original creator of psyBNC. BNC is short for bouncer, a method of "bouncing" through a server to cloak your hostname.
psyBNC became popular and gained significance due to the unique way it worked. Unlike any other BNC software available at the time, psyBNC could stay connected to IRC, even when you detach your IRC client from the BNC. psyBNC was the first bouncer to support this feature. Today, most IRC bouncers have this feature.
Features include multiple users in one BNC; ability to change your vhost on the fly; scripting support (basic); logging; multi server support; and recently IPv6 support.
psyBNC now has four additional developers who go under the aliases of Arakis, Chaot, iceblox, and inFECT.
