ChatNet is one of
the older IRC (Internet Relay Chat) networks. Founded in March 1996, ChatNet has
grown into a moderately sized network of over 3000 chatters. Born out of the
ashes of an older network, it was set up by experienced administrators. By the
end of March, channel services, represented by K9, were added to ChatNet. Due to
the user friendliness and uniqueness of K9, ChatNet gathered a loyal, stable
userbase.

Ups and downs followed, but ChatNet has maintained it's ground, continuing to
grow everyday. Channel services have improved, more experienced friendly people
have come, and ChatNet is becoming a friendlier happier place to chat.
On Monday, October 22, 2001, ChatNet's IRCD was updated to use the Bahamut
1.4.29 IRCD. K9 is being updated to provide more functionality for our channel
services.

ChatNet is governed by a network policy called the Constitution and Guiding
Policy (updated policy coming soon). This document is designed to be the
guidelines for the ideals, values, and ideas of the ChatNet IRC network. ChatNet
exists for the enjoyment and entertainment of our users. It is intended for the
free flow of ideas and opinions between individuals. Individuals should be able
to state opinions without being killed or glined by administration. ChatNet
officials are here to assist in the smooth operation of the network and to
ensure users have a pleasant online experience. To ensure this, anyone impacting
the fun and entertaining qualities the network (especially through harassment,
flooding, and extreme unprofessionalism or rudeness to users) will likely be
removed from the network.
