The Community Chat Network was founded in October 2003 as 4 sites sharing a small server. February 2004, I purchased a small shared server space and got things growing more. In July 2004, we moved to a dedicated server where we host our forums, info page and chat server. Today we're sponsoring approximately 10 teen forums and have over 40 channels registered. We're growing at a steady rate and average 30-50 on the server at a time. We now have a unique advertising setup where channel ops can advertise their channels to encourage visiting by giving out information on what the channel is about, who runs it and what rules they have.
