IRC (Internet Relay Chat) was invented in 1988. It rapidly caught on and the word spread. Two of the oldest and largest IRC networks are DALnet and EFnet and are still operating today. These are networks of hundreds of servers all working together, with thousands of chatrooms and people.
Until recently, linking into IRC chat from a webpage was difficult. The software was rough and no one really put the time into it. Advances have been made, and now we can bring the world of IRC chat directly to you here at CamChat.org.
