AwesomeChat first came into existance in 1981 when our founders felt that on the larger networks they were lost in the shuffle of the mass of users. They thought it would be fun to start their own IRC network, which they wanted to be user friendly. Where you wouldn't get lost in the mass's.

These two founders were Captain and TheBestGuru.

They pulled their resources together and created AwesomeChat. This was at a time when registering a domain name cost you $160, so this was no small undertaking.

In the beginning there were only two servers, which at times you would have problems connecting to. There was only a small amount of users back then which would come and go. But as time went on users began to stay.

Users have come and gone over time as more and more IRC networks have been created. But with the origional goal of this being a user friendly network, they are always welcome back when ever they wish to stop in and visit.

AwesomeChat has more servers now, and connection problems are a thing of the past. Over the years, we have had our problems as all networks have. But, AwesomeChat still retains that origional vision of having a user friendly network where everyone is welcome.

AwesomeChat is still a small network, but still strives to retain the origional goal of a user friendly network. We at AwesomeChat would like to see the network grow, but to never become so large that the origional goal is lost.
