==Your edit to [[:Jimmy Wales]]==

'''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]].

Your recent edit to [[:Jimmy Wales]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&diff=69551241&oldid=69499312 diff]) was reverted by an '''automated bot''' that attempts to recognize and repair [[Wikipedia:vandalism|vandalism]] to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

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.

[[Image:Crystal Clear app help index.png|left|30px]] Hello, ''{{BASEPAGENAME}}'', and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome to Wikipedia]]. I noticed that recently there have been [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|potentially unwanted edits]] made using this [[IP address|IP]] or [[Wikipedia:Username|account]] on the ''[[:User:Jimbo Wales]]'' page. Therefore, for the time being, your edits will be monitored closely to make sure that they are in accord with our [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]], and [[Help:Reverting|reverted]] if necessary. I just thought I should let you know. <!-- Template:Monitor | page monitoring notice --> <span style="background-color:#000000"><font color="white">(|--</font></span> <span style="background-color:#CCCCCC"><font color="red">'''UlT</font><font color="green">i</font><font color="blue">MuS'''</font> <font color="black">^{( [[User:Ultimus|U]] • [[User_talk:Ultimus|T]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ultimus|C]] | [[User:Ultimus/Templates/Message|M]] • [[Special:Emailuser/Ultimus|E]] )}</font></span> 09:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

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".

== Historical Timeline ==

* May 2001, AbleNET is born and has served as a meeting place for chatters ever since.

* May 2003, with the looming threat of the [http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[e-mail] Fizzer Worm] AbleNET joins with a vast collection of [[IRC]] networks and news communities to form [http://www.irc-unity.org/ IRC-Unity]<ref>http://www.irc-unity.org/</ref>.

* December 2005, AbleNET becomes the first IRC Network to offer "blogging" to their community.

== Founder ==

Anthony Sanchez has been using and administering IRC Networks since 1995, starting as an IRCop with InnerNET subsequently [[NewNET]] during it's founding year. Later he went on to Admin servers for [[TheNET]], [[AfterNET]] and finally AbleNET.

Anthony was, coincidentally, the first to publish the story of the raid on and subsequent shutdown of the popular [[Lineage II]] private server, L2Extreme, on the AbleNET website.<ref>http://anthony.blogs.ablenet.org/l2extreme_fbi_shutdown</ref>
