In case you don't know IRC stands for
Internet
Relay
Chat. Its a very quick and smooth chatting system for talking to lots of people at a time. Unlike our built in Chatbox, IRC is all in real-time much like how you would chat in Yahoo or MSN. I will now show you a tutorial on how to connect to our channel.
First off, you will need an IRC program. I recommend Pidgin, please download it here:
http://www.pidgin.im/download/Ok now, after you have installed Pidgin, go up to the "account" tab and click "manage".
In said accounts page click the "add" button.
In the drop down menu marked "protocol", select "IRC".
Fill in the fields like so, putting "irc.quakenet.org" in the server field, and filling in the screen name with anything you want. Remember to hit the save button.
Next under the "buddies" tab, click "add chat".
Now type in "#foamuniverse" in the channel field just like the picture. Click add when finished.
Alright now click on "#foamuniverse" from the buddy list and your ready to chat!
