Changes: Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki:IRC

Latest revision as of 00:00, 24 June 2011

IRC (Internet-Relay-Chat) is a text-based chat medium. In short, it is the predecessor to the instant messaging clients like MSN/AIM that most people use today. Although somewhat antiquated, it is still in use and is a great alternative to proprietary and closed-off chat media. The Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki has a registered channel on the FreeNode IRC network; for IRC-savvy users, simply join #wikia-yugioh on irc.freenode.net.

Wiki's channel. Alternately, you can visit irc.wikia.com to join Wikia's IRC channel. From there type /join #wikia-yugioh to join the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki IRC channel.

You can also access the channel by going to java.freenode.net and typing in a username then hitting connect (if you didn't click the link, then make sure that the box with the # before it says wikia-yugioh before you hit connect).
