Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet text messaging (chat). It is mainly designed for group communication, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfers. FOnline:2238 has got an official IRC channel (#2238 on irc.forestnet.org network, see below), and some other channels are used to trade and discuss various topics.
This IRC help was firstly written by Reconite on the official forum, here. Check there first to see if your question or problem meets a solution.

IRC clients
Those are the most popular softwares that allow you to go on IRC channels. Download one of them and install it to be able to join us on IRC.
- IRC Clients:
- Non-Download Browser IRC Clients:
First steps
- Connect to irc.forestnet.org and join the channel #2238 by typing the command in the text box:
/join #2238
- Then do :
/nick [yournamehere]
(But note that most IRC clients have a name selection on startup) for people to identify you instead of being called, for example, "Leaf1185" (because that's automatic for irc.forestnet.org) etc.
- To register a nickname, while using the name you want to register, use :
/ns register [password] [email]
Do not use a fake email to register a nickname, it has to be an email account that you can pick up the email from and activate it.
