Though, mIRC isn't the only way to go, there are plenty of free programs like Pidgin and IceChat that are freeware(and opensource a good amount of the time) IRC clients, or you can use the java based client that nightstar.net(the server that's hosting#lds) uses!


Personally, I use it for #lds, general chatting, tech support, and game mod collaborating

I do prefer forums nowadays for that type of stuff, simply because forums aren't designed for chatting in real time. People can look over the conversation 24 hours later and add their own thoughts. You aren't completely stuck with the advice of whoever happens to be online at the time who could very likely be wrong. Plus, unless the channels are very popular, it's likely everyone in there is actually idle, which is a little annoying.

When I do use IRC (rarely), ChatZilla (Firefox extension) works fine.

I tend to not enjoy trying to decipher chatspeak, and find that most chat rooms I've inhabited attract rather immature types (hopefully, one oriented toward LDS would attract a more literate, less vulgar crowd).

Man, last night was a crazy party; the chat room was bustling with 1 person! XD Seanette and I had the most crazy conversations ever: like wanting a burrito! Serious, though; I'm glad at least 3 people enjoy IRC like I do

Poor Bat had to put up with me narrating the TV show I was watching . He's a tolerant guy. (Oh, and the burrito turned out to be rather good.)
