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.
