I am Dr. Adrian Rhodes - I am a lisc. Neuropsychologist in the state of Tn. I am a former Efnet Admin and I have been on IRC since 94ish. Me and a few of my close friends have been putting together a small IRC network, but we are understaffed. We need dedicated volunteers to oper, be team members/leaders, promote, and help us spread the word about the reliable services we can offer.

The network is ran by a Five member Network Board of Directors with me as Chairman of the board. Please, please, please if you are interested take the few mins to fill out our oper/staff application and submit it to [email protected] - We are willing to teach dedicated individuals and reward hard work.
