ClueNet[1] is a non-profit community who provide free unix-based services. These services include shell accounts,[2] email accounts,[3] IPv6 tunnels,[4] and a community with which to chat named ClueIRC.[5] ClueNet is run by some of the ex-admins of the now dis-banded community of shell providers, ShellsNet.
ClueNet is an online gathering point for users of Unix-like operating systems to gather with other users of Unix-like operating systems. One of the things unique to this community is that they promote correct grammar and spelling. In fact, one of the prerequisites to getting an account on the ClueNet servers is using correct grammar and spelling.
It is to be noted that ClueNet has very high standards and a zero-tolerance policy for lamers or script kiddies. ClueNet promotes a form of chatting called "Clueful Chatting".[6] Clueful Chatting is the method of typing in proper English, and not using protocols such as "leet" or the practice of adding improper suffixes like "z" or "0rz."
