About EmechNET

First EmechNET iteration was online during the early 2000s. Sherby created this network and maintained it for the sole purpose of getting communities together and connect on multiple subjects across the board.

IRC has dropped a little from its peak of popularity, however it remains a strong and popular communications platform for a myriad of social and work groups. No service has eclipsed IRC as a multi-user text based communications platform so far, the rise of instant messaging does not compare to the features offered by an IRC network. No one individual or company runs or controls a large IRC network, they consist of groups of administrators who vote on issues and provide a balanced and fair oversight of the network.
