IRC

I heard some people here mention an IRC server before. Are the details available, or closed community? If it's the latter, would anyone bother to open one?

I hang out at irc.vanachat.com. Don't know any other server addresses, but i'm sure there are a few.

IRC is so 1998.

While you may think that, IRC still has better functionality than most of today's forums/ messaging clients in many respects.

Please point me to a better, more widely used, and free multi-user chat client/server. IMs are great when it's just two, but grow exponentially worse the more people you have in a convo.

{fact}

90s rocked though. I vaguely remember Vanachat from way back, think I'll join later.

Cheaters.

Edit: Beaten.

In what way is IRC a third party tool?

It is a tool, and it's from a third party. It can be used to communicate with other players who aren't on your own server in real time. Clearly an unfair advantage if you ask me.
