Internet Relay Chat

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an instant messaging system for groups to chat, and requires no registration.

If you like to get in contact with others click "Chat!"

Note: You might find that clicking on Chat doesn't work as well as other methods suggested here. If you use the free open source Firefox web browser, you might prefer the free open source Chatzilla plugin. It opens a new window leaving your browser window as-is, and it has many helpful features.
