#55 of 141 French Est. 2005 UnrealIRCd-6.2.5

Founded in 2005, Geeknode is a group of computer enthusiasts who define themselves as geeks, with the aim of bringing together other geeks on the same network. Despite the gradual decline of IRC, we continue to believe in this discussion system which stands out from many of its competitors by its simplicity and its varied ecosystem allowing everyone to use the software (free or not) of their choice to discuss for more than thirty years already.
