Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a way to chat over the Internet. For a detailed description and history, refer to the Wikipedia article Internet Relay Chat.
Many Doomers can be found on IRC, and on several different IRC networks.
See also forums for Doom-related web forums.
For help connecting to an IRC channel, see the reference documents at IRChelp.org.
