IRC (Internet-Relay-Chat) is a text-based chat medium. In short, it is the predecessor to the instant messaging clients like MSN/AIM that most people use today. Although somewhat antiquated, it is still in use and is a great alternative to proprietary and closed-off chat media. Wikia ACG has a registered channel on the FreeNode IRC network; for IRC-savvy users, simply join #wikia-acg on irc.freenode.net.
If you are unfamiliar with IRC, or are behind a firewall preventing you using it, visit irc.wikia.com, choose a name, select #wikia-acg from the drop-down channel box, and click login to join Wikia ACG's channel. Other options are available by clicking the advanced options link. You can also access the channel by going to java.freenode.net and typing in a username then hitting connect (if you didn't click the link, then make sure that the box with the # before it says wikia-acg before you hit connect).
