You can chat with AfterDawn.com users on our unofficial IRC channel. If you don't use IRC that's fine, you can easily access the channel anyway using a web-based Java application. This is only the second time we've mentioned an IRC channel via news, as again, it is an unofficial channel. It is located at...
Server: irc.stormchat.org:6667
Channel: #afterdawn
If you need to use a Java chat application to access with your web browser, then visit http://www.adbuddies.org.
If you would like to learn how to use a proper IRC client, then you can read a guide for that at AfterDawn too.

Even though the channel is not directly affiliated with AfterDawn, that doesn't mean it has no rules. Besides following simple common sense, here are a few easy rules to abide by...

• Don't be a nuisance, or you'll be banned.
  
• File servers and XDCC bots are not allowed.
  
• Absolutely no requesting or trading anything illegal is allowed.
  
• Don't harass people for help. Most regulars of the channel have full time jobs and family life, which means they spent a lot of time idling. If you need help, be patient.
  
• Have fun!

Come say Hi!
