+What is IRC? IRC stands for <em>Internet Relay Chat</em>. IRC has been around since the late 1980's, and is a form of real-time Internet text messaging, or chatting. We have our own IRC server here at SurfGuitar101.com, and it is a fun way to talk to your fellow SG101-ers. We often gather in IRC to listen to a podcast or Internet radio show, to plan site events, or to just shoot the breeze. Come on in, all are welcome!

+<strong>If you are a beginner</strong>, please check out <a href="/forums/topic/5103/">this forum thread</a>, which has some instructions for getting started using Chatzilla, a Firefox addon. We may also do a screencast in the future to explain how to get up and running. Please <a href="/contact/">contact us</a> if you need help getting started.
