CanadianWay Chat Rules Of Conduct:

Mission Statement

We here at CanadianWay: Owners, Administrators and Moderators,
all agree and are working together to create a chat site that
caters to the common good of all chatters. We request that
all chatters treat the chat site with respect, both for the
staff here at CanadianWay and all other chatters.

We hope that all chatters will feel welcome with us here at
CanadianWay and will see this as a second home.

One of the reasons we started this server has got to do with
OpenSource software. It gave us the idea to have an Open Minded
server where people can chat keeping mutual respect in mind.

Goal

Our long-term goal is to become the best chat server that
we can be and to provide future services for our chatters:
- Fast file transfers using DCC
- A possible DJ service
..: (including but not exclusive to live shows)
- Support for;
..: Computers
..: Linux
..: Web design
..: Music
