Ok, for a while i've been thinking about making an IRC network for a while now, but i could never thing of a theme. Now, i thought: Aspergers! I'm planning to make a IRC network for people with aspergers, HFA, etc. It will have a channel for: General, Teens, kids, parents, computers, art, music, etc. :D

If you think you'd like to help, contact me on freenode #wrongplanet, msn messanger, email, pm, or post here. It doesn't matter how much you'll help, just that you help. Please no messages like "that is stupid".

There are gazillions of networks already though. Establishing and maintaining a new network is a heck of a lot of work. Are you sure you have that much free time?

Internet Relay Chat. Like MSN or Yahoo but with stacks of people at once.

IRC is a chat system, like IMing. When you IM, you send a msg to a server. then it sends it to the other person's computer. with irc, you send it to the server your using. then, it sends it to all the other servers. those servers send the msg to whoever is in the channel.

For an explaniton that makes sence, go to irchelp.org

Get going, I'd love to see this turn out to be something great!

sounds nice, but theres a problem, with chat.freenode.net and the cgi(webpage) (perl) based version you cannot use differant channels. your stuck on #wrongplanet only because of only one server. or the way the website or irc was set up. i'm thinking can maybe there be an update or use of differant server so we can change the channel??? whenever I try to change the channel I only get is the "access to that channel is blocked" I have a feeling a few of you will say downalod irc well i'm the kind of person who won't download unless its a critical thing that is needed on the computer. good luck ashfire

you got two options:
1. Go get java! http://www.java.com
2. get a irc client. Mirc, and hydrairc are some. (note: mirc costs money. hydra doesn't.)

the server doesn't matter. all irc servers talk to each other. it's the cgi:irc. it's set up to not allow any other channels.

I already go on one that was established by a few people on the autism spectrum for those on the autism spectrum. Most times it's good. Every IRC channel/network has its issues at times.
