Intro To IRC
What's IRC?
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It was originally written by Jarkko
Oikarinen (jto@tolsun.oulu.fi) in 1988. Since starting in Finland, it has
been used in over 60 countries around the world. It was designed as a
replacement for the "talk" program but has become much much more< than that.
IRC is a multi-user chat system, where people convene on "channels"
(a virtual place, usually with a topic of conversation) to talk in groups,
or privately. IRC is constantly evolving, so the way things to work one
week may not be the way they work the next. Read the MOTD (message
of the day) every time you use IRC to keep up on any new happenings
or server updates.
IRC gained international fame during the 1991 Persian Gulf War,
where updates from around the world came across the wire,
and most IRC users who were online at the time gathered on a single
channel to hear these reports. IRC had similar uses during the coup
against Boris Yeltsin in September 1993, where IRC users from Moscow
were giving live reports about the unstable situation there.
