Joining StrategyWiki's IRC channels are fairly easy. Simply connect to the network irc://irc.abxy.org and [[#Using the network|join]] either ''#strategywiki'' for live support with StrategyWiki-related questions, or ''#abxy'' for gaming chat and socialization. If you do not have an IRC client, you may use [[Special:Mibbit|the web client]] (will automatically join ''#strategywiki'' for you).

Once you have connected, join either ''#strategywiki'' or ''#abxy'' by typing <tt>/join #strategywiki</tt> or <tt>/join #abxy</tt>, respectively. There are many other channels that you may join as well, but those two are the main ones. As stated above, ''#strategywiki'' is for help with StrategyWiki-related things, and ''#abxy'' is for gaming chat and socialization. Once you have joined the channel, simply type something in the input box and hit your Enter or Return key to say it. Everyone currently in that channel will be able to see what you have typed.
