the UNDERNET - Internet Relay Chat, or IRC
| IRC is a text based real-time chat system
with literally millions of users. There are many "networks" each
with its own 'chat rooms'. You can choose networks based on
geography or interests... All you need is a relatively easy to use
IRC client to access this service, the client I use is called mIRC The largest IRC networks can have as many as tens of thousands of users and channels at any one time, while smaller networks that cater to specific interests may have only a few hundred users. Some of the more popular networks currently are: DALnet, EFnet, IRCnet, QuakeNet, Undernet and Webchat. You can usually find me in the "Undernet" in a variety of chatrooms, using various nicknames. |
