Since everyone has different IM programs - ICQ, MSN IM, AIM, etc - and since we all like to chat, I thought it'd be good to set up a #therpgsite on the
Magicstar server, in irc. I choose irc because it's quite easy to use.
You can get mirc from
here, but there are many other versions of chat programs. Then click

A chat room is like a forum, in that in the beginning it'll be fairly quiet. But lurk around for a bit, set your program to flash or ping when someone shows up or talks, and over time a little community of chatters builds up. I've found that chatting to people in real time makes a big difference to the associated forum or hobby, since you find that people you thought were cocks turn out to be not so bad, and vice versa
You'll find me, at least, there each weekday from about five hours ago from the time of this posting, to a couple of hours from now. I usually work at home, or in the evenings, so I have the pc on during the day (my time).
