'''IRC'''(short for '''Internet Relay Chat''') is one of the oldest protocols for online chatting and file sharing.
Some collaborative projects use it to facilitate communication between project members. Wikipedia and Conservapedia both use '''freenode ''' as their IRC server. ==Some IRC channels==
* #conservapedia
* *conservapedia-sysop (password required)
* #wikipedia
==IRC Help==
