QuakeNet is the largest IRC network in the world, with its average number of users well over 200,000 every day and over 180,000 channels. It has been part of the Big Four (the group of four largest IRC networks) since 2002. At its peak on 8 February 2005, the network recorded 243,394 simultaneous connections.

Founded in 1997 as an IRC network for Quakeworld players, QuakeNet has seen huge growth over the years as it attracted many other gamers. It became popular initially because of its network stability and service bot 'Q' and later 'L'. QuakeNet has many services, some of which are:
