IRC

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a text-based internet chat system. Scioly.org has an active channel with the details below.

Connecting to IRC
One connects to IRC with a program called an IRC client. There are numerous free programs available around the internet that can be installed on one's computer, or alternately there are websites that serve as IRC clients without downloading anything. Scioly.org currently hosts two online clients that are already configured to connect directly to our chat.

There are many different servers that host IRC chats. Scioly.org uses one hosted by chat4all.org. If you use an independent client, you will have to tell it to connect to this server. For the full details to give the client, see the next section. In order to connect to IRC, you will need to choose a nickname (it is possible to change it later). This will be the name that other IRC users see. A good choice for our chat is your scioly.org username, if you have an account. Please be warned that offensive nicknames will not be tolerated on our chat.

IRC servers are divided into chats called channels. They all begin with a # and are followed by a series of characters without spaces. Our channel is listed in the next section.
