The client software, called qwebirc, was created by the QuakeNet development team. QuakeNet has a webchat client which allows users to connect to the network without the use of a dedicated IRC client. Many of these channels can be found using the channel search facility on the QuakeNet website. QuakeNet also is the home to many other third-party bot-operated services that can be used for various purposes to assist channel operators to run their channels or provide light entertainment. There are many other backend services which help QuakeNet staff administer the network. Since April 2014, D was also added as a channel service which collects various statistic metrics about a channel, such as word counts and popular phrases.Īdditional services include O as an operserv reference bot to the server operators on QuakeNet, and R (RequestBot) which allows users to request both Q and S if their channel meets their requirements.

S is SpamScan, a service used to detect spam from channels and warn or later punish the offending users. The other popular channel service seen in the larger channels is 'S'. Q is the main channel service and manages account authentication similar to nickname registration on servers with Nickserv although there is no nickname protection service, instead operating on a first come first served basis.

As interest in IRC started to decline, QuakeNet's userbase followed suit.Ĭhannels often feature QuakeNet's requestable bespoke channel service 'Q'.

Founded in 1997 as an IRC network for QuakeWorld players, QuakeNet saw huge growth over the coming years as it attracted many other gamers.
