IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat and is a form of real-time internet text messaging (chat). The service has become popular mainly due to the anonyminity which it provides it's users.

#GayHellas started on Grnet, which is an IRC network which aims to serve Greek internet users, under various forms in 2001 and finally settled on the name GayHellas in 2002.

Since those humble beginnings the channel has grown to become the largest Greek gay IRC channel on the internet and a place where users come together, both Greek and non Greek, in search of common interest.

Our Website presence has also taken various forms throughout the years. Our new website aims to extend our members' online experience beyond chatting and will be an extension to our IRC channel.

We aim to offer our members services which we hope will be both entertaining and informative as well as helpful and supportive.

So welcome once again and we wish you a safe and happy internet experience and don't forget to register so you too can be one of the Stars of #GayHellas!
