'''AbleNET''' is an [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] network. It was founded, May 2001, by [[AfterNET]] Co-Founder and long-time Admin Anthony Sanchez and several others from that network. The network was set up primarily as a chat network for friends, and as a response to growing disillusionment with the policies of some of the [[AfterNET]] administrators. Several users from AbleNET were involved in the creation of [[AfterNET]]; some even tracing their usage back to [[TheNET]] and [[InnerNET]].

'''Chester Charles Bennington''' is an [[United States|American]] [[vocalist]]. He is best known for being [[Linkin Park]]'s [[frontman]] and lead vocalist.

AbleNET is a small network with an average of 150-300 users online at any given time. The [[Undernet]]-compatible [[IRCu]] [[Daemon (computer software)|daemon]] software is used on the servers. [[IRC_Services|Channel services]] are provided using [[srvx]]; the user authentication service is named AuthServ and the channel service is named X.

==Background==

Before joining Linkin Park, Bennington was a vocalist in [[Grey Daze]], a now defunct [[grunge]] band from [[Phoenix, Arizona]].<ref name="stone1">Rolling Stone Magazine, [http://www.lptimes.com/bio/bio_band.html Linkin Park - Biography] (March 14, 2002), The Linkin Park Times, Retrieved on June 24, 2007.</ref> He left Grey Daze in 1998, but struggled to find another band to play in.<ref name="stone1"/> After nearly quitting his musical career altogether, Jeff Blue, then the [[vice president]] of A&R at Zomba Music in [[Los Angeles]], offered Bennington an audition with Linkin Park.<ref name="stone1"/> Bennington quit his day job, and took his family to [[California]], where he had a successful audition with Linkin Park, who were then called “Hybrid Theory”.<ref name="stone1"/> Bennington and [[Mike Shinoda]], the band’s other vocalist, made significant progress together, but failed to find a record deal.<ref name="stone1"/> After facing numerous rejections, Jeff Blue, now a vice president of A&R at [[Warner Bros.]], intervened again to help the band sign with [[Warner Bros. Records]].<ref name="stone1"/>

AbleNET is noted for its distinct lack of [[IRCOp]]s, instead using various services to control the flow of network stability and activity. Additionally, the Network is noted for its high standards of access, regarding the limit of multiple connections and unverifiable "bots".

Despite having prodigious success in the early 2000s, Bennington has had personal problems outside of the limelight. He suffered a severe spider bite while touring with the [[OzzFest]] in 2001, which caused his arm to swell.<ref>USRN, [http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12047341 Linkin Park's Bennington Suffering From Bite] (August 13, 2001), Retrieved on June 24, 2007.</ref> Bennington was plagued with poor health during the making of Meteora, and struggled to attend some of the album’s record sessions.<ref>Warner Bros.
