How do you use IRC?

In: Internet, History of the Web, Technology [Edit categories]

Answer:

You must download an irc client, or use a web based one, then you must select an irc network, ex IRC://irc.example.com (the client often leaves out IRC:// since all irc channels would use it, so you may just need to type, irc.example.com) and then join a channel (ex: #example) use the "/join #example" command, all channels start with #.
