IRC

From Stargate Worlds Wiki (SGW)

Internet Relay Chat, or IRC for short, was created back in 1988. Stargate Worlds has its own IRC network owned and operated by members of the Stargate Worlds community.

[edit] Where

The network's website is located at SGWirc.com. From there it will have various FAQs, general information, and other goodies to read. The IRC network its self can be reached at irc.sgwirc.com. The main channel for the Stargate Worlds chat on the IRC network is #Stargate-Worlds.
