What is IRC?

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) was created in 1988 and became the backbone of real-time online communication long before Slack, Discord, or Teams existed. Users join channels (chat rooms) organized by topic and chat in real time.

Our IRC server will host channels for Runable.app users and the broader retro-computing community. Connect with any IRC client.
