I've set up an IRC channel for us to use. It means we can chat to each other, without the talkpage and signing business. This means we can trade and communicate much more easily.

===Operators===
Operators are users who have extra abilities on the IRC channel. The wiki's [[Project:Administrators|Administrators]] are the operators. Ops can kick users from the chat, ban users from the chat, and set the channel topic. All operators have the '''@''' symbol next to their names.<br>

Due to [http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm COPPA Laws], and IRC's Terms and Conditions, users must be above the age of 13 to register, you may join legally under that age and just chat. This also applies to registering on Wikia sites, so shouldn't affect anyone.
