[QUOTE="Heaplink, post: 108154, member: 8966"] Team Rev has got a IRC channel on the QuakeNet server. You can join it on [B]#TeamRev[/B] [SIZE=4]Don't know what the hell IRC is? Well let me tell ya..[/SIZE] IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a old school chat system that runs on it's own protocol - just like HTTP, FTP and so on - just for chat. It's available for all operating systems and there's even online clients - but it's neater and better to use desktop clients; here's some good ones: [LIST] [*]mIRC — Windows only [*]XChat 2 — Windows, Mac & Linux [*]Quassel — Windows, Mac & Linux [*]Colloquy — Mac only [*]Textual — Mac only [*]Smuxi — Windows, Mac & Linux [/LIST] [SIZE=4]How do I use it?[/SIZE]Good question... Each client is different in some stuff but they are almost equal when it comes to joining servers and channels. When you fire up a client you should have ability to type in commands in a textfield. Type following to join a server: [CODE]/server <server>[/CODE] where <server> is replaced with the server you would like to join. There are many, many servers but the most popular ones are QuakeNet, EFnet, FreeNode, Esper.net and some others. We use QuakeNet as it's one of the most popular and well-known servers on IRC.
