Give me your tired, your poor, Your clueless newbies yearning to compute free
IRCNow is grateful to its Western heritage. It is where the free and open source community gained its rich experience in self-government and basic liberties.
Looking forward, we would like to invite the rest of the world to join us in this experiment of freedom.
To this end, IRCNow invites non-western nations with special programs to encourage the spread of user freedoms around the world.
Our goal is to make this network support every nation and language on earth. To make it truly a network of the users, by the users, for the users.
To all oppressed users on the Internet, IRCNow openly invites you to join us and enjoy the blessings of network liberty.
