What is IRC?

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat which basically hosts chatrooms. There's quite a lot of IRC servers around on the internet and each channel is unique to its own with different people running it.

here's quite a few IRC clients out there and they are each to their own. Some clients are listed below. miRC - Windows Textual - Mac OS X X-Chat - Linux

Many people will argue that one client is better than the other but you should really choose one you feel most comfortable with.

Those who just want to try IRC out can use https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#openpandora select a username, figure out the captcha and click connect.



How do I connect to the OpenPandora channel?

In your IRC Client (Provided you have read up on how to use it) the server should be Freenode (irc.freenode.org) and the channel you will join is #openpandora which can seem dead until someone speaks!

If you're using the web client, ensure you enter #openpandora as the channel and join with your forum nick (if its not taken by someone already.

Enjoy using the channel and don't be sad if aTc hates on your programs! :P
