Welcome

Global Gamers is an IRC network that was formed on one simple concept: gaming should be fun! Whether you live for annihilating the competition in a free-for-all FPS or you sneak in a game of Solitaire when your friends aren't watching, we understand. We know games are there to be enjoyed, and we don't want to complicate something that's supposed to be a source of entertainment...

Stop Internet Censorship - Posted by ButtaKnife on January 19, 2012

Yesterday, Global Gamers joined Google, Wikipedia, and countless other
websites and organizations in protesting Internet censorship. Though the GG site has resumed normal operations, the fight against Internet censorship continues. Remember that under overreaching legislation, many of your favorite websites could fall victim to censorship without due process. The United States already has legislation in place to protect copyrighted works. The proposed legislation goes beyond reasonable law so that organizations like the RIAA and the MPAA can shutdown websites at will. Global Gamers does not condone copyright infringement of any kind, however we recognize that legislation like this is blatantly wrong and will ultimately ruin the Internet that we all love.

Join the fight against Internet censorship. If you're in the United States, here are some resources:
Google
Wikipedia
Stand Together: The Gaming Community vs SOPA and PIPA

If you're outside the US, stay informed about what your local governments are doing to harm the freedom of the Internet. The US is not the first, or last, country to look at overreaching Internet laws and controls. Governments world-wide need to realize once and for all that the Internet is bigger than any of them. Freedom is something we all can enjoy.

This fight is not about allowing piracy or anything silly like that. This is about preventing harmful legislation written by people who don't understand the Internet from ruining the good things that come from a free and open Internet. Don't sit by idly and let the Internet as we know it cease to exist.
