From wiki.soldat.nl
QuakeNet is the largest IRC network in the world, with its average number of users well over 200,000 every day and over 180,000 channels. It has been one of the four largest IRC networks since 2002. At its peak on 8 February 2005, the network recorded 243,394 simultaneous connections.
Founded in 1997 as an IRC network for Quakeworld players, QuakeNet has seen huge growth over the years as it attracted many other gamers. It became popular initially because of its network stability and service bot 'Q' and later 'L'.
Most soldat IRC channels are located on the quakenet server, including the official channel #soldat, many gather channels and a lot of clan and national team channels.
On most IRC clients like mIRC you can connect to quakenet by typing /server irc.quakenet.org , /server -m irc.quakenet.org , /server -m QuakeNet , or /server QuakeNet. The commands with -m will open up a new server window for QuakeNet.
