Ok, I don't know if anyone here regularly uses IRC. I do and I have mIRC installed. I could get us a channel on a server. Though anyone can really, but I have experience in it and even know a helpdesk person of the network.
mIRC is easy to use if you know how, but for newbies probably less so. And it's a hassle to install a program if you only want to talk now and then or just once.
As an alternative to mIRC there are java web clients where you just type in a name and it automatically connects. Sometimes even without registration. But those are worse for experienced users. I often accidently close the window because it runs in the web browser.
Those come in two forms. One than you run yourself and can choose your own server/channel. And another that's installed or linked to on websites and just connects to a specified server/channel. The latter would be a good for a site like BSWiki. You could link to it in the navigation menu and regulars as well as newbies can chat. But I don't know where to get those applets or how to set them up.
Not sure what would be the best option here. --Serenity 17:56, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
