About what we are about
UnitedChat is a small IRC network that was created as a way to help united our friends after the closure of another IRC network. It focuses on providing a fun and inclusive community for all people as well as using the latest IRCv3 technologies thanks to the latest versions of InspIRCd servers. UnitedChat was originally known as the GeeksAndGamers network, but has since changed its identity to help established it's new 'fun, inclusive and united' direction.

Becoming a staffer
We are currently NOT looking to add any new 'staff' to our network
When we do, we will ask you. People who ask for access will automatically go to the bottom of the list
All staff members need to have a good understanding of our IRCd, Services and the Ethos of the network. This means we want knowlegable people that share the same interests to help drive our community forward. If you have to ask what our interests are, then you've missed the boat and are not likely the right person for the job.
