Originally a network dedicated solely to the GTA:Connection multiplayer project, the network spawned off a home server in Malta in July 2004. Luke and TwoZero founded the network and are both still active in the community today, though the network has grown to encompass multiplayer projects such as MTA and SA:MP, the GTANet websites such as GTAForums.com and GTASanAndreas.net, and small businesses which provide services to the GTA community. The present day GTANet is a combination of the former MTA IRC Network, servers provided by GTA-Host and several privately administered servers. With the increasing popularity and size of the GTA series of games, the network has grown immensely in the past four years.
