Conservapedia now operates an Internet Relay Chat channel, for collaboration and general communication. This is a basic guide on how to use it. Be aware that IRC is less secure and verifiable than talking on Conservapedia itself. Users can be impersonated and conversations can be compromised. Please do not discuss sensitive information on the IRC.

===Web client===
Using the web client is the easiest method. Simply go to [https://kiwiirc.com/client?settings=7c7240c62a5d4861a8ad0ba697929f39 KiwiIRC] and enter a username. We suggest that if people have Conservapedia accounts, they use the same account names in the IRC.
