So you've read the rules and think you might like to talk to the crazy fuckers that visit this channel, huh? Well, we've put a couple of sets of instructions together for ya to be able to connect up and start chatting.
If you don't currently use IRC, you'll need to download a program that will enable you to connect to an IRC server. Since the majority of the world runs Windows, that's all we'll cover here. The IRC program of choice is mIRC. It's the best there is. I've included two links below to get mIRC.

Local Copy of mIRC 5.7
If you have another machine or operating system, please mail me and I can give you some suggestions. I'm also open to adding a few links for UNIX or Macintosh clients.
Below are two different pages for how to setup mIRC. The advanced one is just the stuff you'll need to know such as server names and such. The regular one is a complete in-depth HOWTO.
