Re: ICQ & IRC Scirocco Chat



Many of us are already on ICQ, but in my opinion ICQ is a lousy group chat solution.  Likewise, I've never seen a web-based chat forum that was very enjoyable, well-designed, or easy to use.
 
IRC is much better for this purpose and IRC client software is plentiful.  If you're a Windows users, download mIRC from www.mirc.co.uk and you'll be up and running in a heartbeat.
 
Connect to a server that is part of the "EFNet" network (there are dozens) and join the #Scirocco channel.  That's where I am 24/7, since I have a dedicated connection here at home.  I'm always online but certainly not always "there".
 
You can join #Volkswagen and find more general watercooled VW talk, but I find the guys that control that channel can get irritating at times.  #VW is mostly air cooled.  Keep in mind that anyone can create a new channel (and maintain control of it) simply by joining one that does not already exists.
