From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfers via Direct Client-to-Client. As of May 2009, the top 100 IRC networks served more than half a million users at a time, with hundreds of thousands of channels (the vast majority of which stand mostly vacant), operating on a total of roughly 1,500 servers worldwide. IRC was created by Jarkko Oikarinen in August 1988 to replace a program called MUT (MultiUser Talk) on a BBS called OuluBox in Finland. Oikarinen found inspiration in a chat system known as Bitnet Relay, which operated on the BITNET. IRC was used to report on the Soviet coup attempt of 1991 throughout a media blackout. It was previously used in a similar fashion during the Persian Gulf War. Logs of these and other events are kept in the ibiblio archive. IRC client software is available for virtually every computer operating system that supports TCP/IP networking.

You have to download the program in www.mirc.com Your other IMs won't work with IRC and it would be impossible for you to find a client called Miranda since the users can change their nicks anytime and it is not even permanent.

Q. I downloaded mirc and I was wondering how to set up my own chatroom so that I can talk to my friends. Thanks! Asked by kari_kasaki - Sat Sep 29 23:25:05 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Once you are logged into the server. just type /join #roomname It will automagically create the room for you.. When you log off the room will be closed and anyone can have the name after that. THe only exception is DalNet, they have "Channel Bots" that will hold the channel for you. Answered by Jasperman_68 - Sat Sep 29 23:28:47 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "IRC" IRC Directory
