 The common way to connect to the networks is to use specialised IRC clients such as [http://www.mirc.com mIRC] (shareware, Windows only) or [http://www.hexchat.org/ HexChat] (free and open source, cross-platform), but also many multi-protocol Instant Messaging (IM) clients like [http://www.instantbird.com/ Instantbird] or [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin] or internet suites such as [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] and [http://www.opera.com Opera] support the IRC protocol. Another quick way to join the networks is via the use of web clients that can be accessed from any browser.

-The abbreviation '''IRC''' stands for Internet Relay Chat, a form of chat protocol. It is a text-based communication method for multiple users at once. IRC networks are usually free to use by anyone and do not require any form of registration, only a nickname has to be set prior to connecting. The actual chatting takes place in channels which can usually be created or joined by any user. IRC is just a harder version of discord or slack to use, so its better to use a discord instead.
