Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of realtime Internet chat. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message.
Many people stay logged on to IRC for many days. It's best to ask your questions even if you think people are not around.
