IRC (Internet-Relay-Chat) is a text-based chat medium. In short, it is the predecessor to the instant messaging clients like MSN/AIM that most people use today. Although somewhat antiquated, it is still in use and is a great alternative to proprietary and closed-off chat media. Dragon Ball Encyclopedia has a registered channel on the FreeNode IRC network; for IRC-savvy users, simply join #dragonballencyclopedia on irc.freenode.net.
