IRC or internet relay chat is a massive community. i have a channel on one of the most popular networks, quakenet. come and join me with the rest of the insane lot in #mtuk, if you've never used IRC before, starting with mIRC isn't a bad idea, check out my guide to it here. for those that prefer the statistical nature of irc, here is #mtuk's rarely updated statistics. i am too lazy to update them anymore, and they seem to attract a negative aspect of irc if i update them frequently, so they won't be coming back anytime soon.
