The Echo34 IRC Network was origionally founded in 2004 solely for use by RaveTrax.com Internet Radio. It was then called, simply: RaveTrax IRC. However, less than a year later it had expanded its userbase to other online radio stations. Thus it was decided to branch IRC off to it's own entity; and in 2005 Echo34 was born. Since then it has gone through several small changes and updates to become the stable and friendly network it is today.
