IRC Chat

IRC is internet relay chat--a fairly old (by internet standards) way of communicating. It's a big series of chat rooms, basically.
 
Ahh.

So it's like Instant Messaging??
 
Sort of, but the primary function is to have large chat rooms--not as much individual person-to-person chats. The functionality is there to have individual IM-style chats, but it's mostly big chat rooms.
 
Oh wow. I never knew that the forums were capable of this ^^;

And anybody can use it?
 
Oh okay. Thanks for answering my questions ^^;
