@Lynxrufus(View Post) It stands for Internet Relayed CabbageVery Funny Lockheedmartin, and it's used to chat in groups while using minimum bandwidth. It doesn't require a client and can be used with any OS.
It's also considered as "1337 h4z0r" by some peoples, but no one really cares
What we use irc for is mainly having general tpt conversations and but of course getting our groups together to discuss things. I personally have 3 channels that i go to. #powder which is the channel for powder toy #powdersim which is the channel for the mod that a few of us are doing and #powder-social which is where we socialize.
