What is IRC?
IRC stands for internet relay chat and is where millions of people gather every day in channels or rooms to discuss things that interest them. There are several ways to join these people but to keep things simple I'll explain two. The first method (which I use) is to download a simple program called mIRC which is shareware (ie you can try it out and then pay a registration fee. It's simple to use but has many options which can be changed as you find out more about it and what suits you. The other method is to use the java applet on the Heroes and Villains site. This is probably easiest for beginners :)
The NEW Heroes & Villains JavaChat applet can currently be found here.
We normally meet up on match days, of course and regularly at 9pm on a Thursday evening.
Don't forget to accept the security and choose #villa from the drop down menu.
