Scarynet is a network dedicated for you to have a nice chat. We focus on providing free webchats through various ways of connectivity. Our servers are running on a modified version of the Undernet ircu code. Sources can be found here.

Our main focus is to provide a nice enviroment for you to chat on. And to provide you with easy to use facilities to create a decent webchat for your project. We think everyone should be able to add a webchat on a site for the community the webmaster wants to establish. Think about the fact that a webchat may enable your visitors to meet and discuss about the topics your site deals with. Also a webchat can result in a higher load of visitors and users remaining longer on your site.

Another goal is to provide a friendly network. Most networks have a huge amount of users but are not friendly. The opers are hiding from the users because they are afraid of getting flooded and attacked if an oper would provide a response a certain group of users would not accept.

We want to grow, but remain friendly. We want to interact with our users and help them whenever help is needed. We do NOT hide from users and we even implemented features in the software to make it easy for users to find people willing to help.

Our website is made in a way that it should be selfexplaining and provide most general questions, even the less general ones. And it is constantly getting updated to provide more. You will also find some basic information about IRC and we are about to provide advanced information about the possibilities of our network as things progress.

As any irc network, there were a few disagrements, some would leave, some would join. Firedevill left and Teacat.Com changed name to GenericNet.Org, StoneC0ld's old domain. Things now seemed to work out fine, routines were formed and the network was growing. At this point Ishtar from Genericnet.Org joined, and with her the discussions. At that point OUTsider joined too. In this short period of 6 months, Scarynet was born. The 16. of may 2002 to be exactly, ice-t decided to leave the discussions behind and the two networks split up for good. The new coders of ScaryNet were OUTsider, Reed and Math. But the discussions were not over yet, and Scarynet had to live though the erasure of the u..
