Hello guys,

You can reach the channel under #splashdamage.
Most of you know how to handle IRC, for the people who dont know what an IRC-Client is, check out the little tutorial.
- The easiest way
Just click on this link -> irc://irc.quakenet.org/splashdamage .
If you use Mozilla or other Netscape-Browsers, the browser will automaticly load the IRC-Plugin ( Chatzilla )
Also Opera supports this protocol.
- IRC-Clients and usefull commands
The most popular IRC-Client is mIRC.
Its a free IRC-Client with the most options and optional abilities to include scripts for IRC etc.
You can get mirc at http://www.mirc.com/.
Once you installed mIRC and started your client, you have to choose a nickname and an IRC-Server.
The Quakenet has a lot of servers in different countries, you should use a server in your country for the best connection and response-time.
All this stuff can be find in the option-menu.
If you have finished your setup, click on the connect-button and use the command-toolbar to join the channel #splashdamage.
