The network and it’s main channel, #aber, serves a disparate group composed primarily of aberystwyth (aber) university students past and present. Currently averaging 37 online at any one time. The total userbase is a mystery, but in the region of 50-70. There are unconfirmed rumours of another subgroup forming around the channel #42.
The Aber Free Net was created as a result of the irc server athos.ivixor.net (sadly no longer with us) de-linking from BitterNet (circa 2001). The server was initially populated by a breakaway faction of disaffected users of OtherAber who were looking for a more enlightened and egalitarian channel to use. See more at AFNet History.
A characteristic of AFNET is the perceived and/or actual absence of rules, regulations, fabricated power structures or hierarchy. If you want to read more about best open source wiki you can follow this link.
