IRC.

I need to learn how to use it.

Can any of you guys give me some fool-proof steps on how to go about this? I just downloaded Vortec IRC but now am at a loss. Can any IRC peeps teach me how to use IRC in general? Please :)

Probably easiest to learn by connecting to an irc server, joining a place with people in it and asking them.

Ok, but how do I do that? I kind of need step by step instructions, as if I was an idiot.

I’ve never used Vortec IRC, but I have used IRC itself a small amount.

Can you connect to a server? I’d say try freenode.net — though it is not a general-purpose place it has higher quality than some things.

I’m sure the application itself comes with step-by-step instructions, if not, download better client software. To find irc servers you could do a google search for “irc servers”.
