I sound so much like dumbo right now. ------------------ MM out- Thought travels much faster than sound, it is better to think something twice, and say it once, than to think something once, and have to say it twice.

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, and is still one of the most popular way for people to have chatrooms where lots of anonymous people can join and talk about topics. One definitely needs to be wary of the chat networks though. It's generally not a good idea to go to random channels on those networks, because it's not hard to find people pirating warez software or other things. It's just like the Internet -- be wary when browsing sites you're not familiar with. I'm on the CCN chat room about half of the week -- the other people who hang out there are Jari, Guategeek, CPUFreak, and sometimes other people like Lava, Riflefire or Ereon. Cheers! --clint

HanClinto Administrator Posts: 1828 From: Indiana Registered: 10-11-2004	Sorry, I should have backed up a little bit. IRC is its own protocol, just like HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), or SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). So a link to an IRC server actually looks like: irc://irc.freenode.net However, Firefox and IE don't understand the IRC protocol, so you need something like mIRC or Chatzilla (a great Firefox extension) to connect to the IRC server.

The FireFox extensions are a great thing. Saves you from installing a million other programs. And I hate to have a million programs installed on my computer. I've already replaced few apps with firefox extensions (i.e. FTP app with FireFTP extension). Looks like I can get rid of mIRC now =]
