SlashNET is an medium-sized, independently-operated Internet_Relay_Chat network. Originally sponsored by Slashdot, in 1999 SlashNET split off to become its own entity. Several well-known communities and projects maintain an IRC presence at SlashNET, including #slashdot (now only vaguely related to the website of the same name), #slash (Slash_%28weblog_system%29), #kuro5hin (kuro5hin), #sourceforge (SourceForge), #lnx-bbc (lnx-bbc), #penny-arcade (Penny Arcade (comic)), #joyoftech (Joy of Tech), and the increasingly popular IRC Idle_RPG, #g7. ==Administration== SlashNET, unlike other IRC networks, takes a "hands-off" approach to administration. This means that unless something breaks, the IRC_Operator are just regular users with a status flag next to their nicknames. Other than that, there are no differences and no Buzzword. SlashNET's administration belives that it is "just plain silly" for IRC networks to have "mission statements", "directives", "charters", "catalysts", "philosophies", and the like, so they reject the notion that these are necessary for operation. "What's the point in overthinking something if it already works to everyone's satisfaction? Our 'mission' is to keep the servers running happy," claims SlashNET's website. SlashNET is run entirely by volunteers from around the globe. ==Forums== SlashNET has been host to numerous IRC forums with famous people in the tech industry, including Ken Coar, Marcel Gagne, Richard_Stallman, Jamie Zawinski, Matt_Dillon_%28computer_scientist%29 of DragonflyBSD, Rob_Malda and Jeff_Bates of Slashdot, Rusty Foster and Dylan_Griffiths of kuro5hin, and the distributed.net crew.
