OKAY RED IS FEELING EXCITED TO HELP HERE.

So basically, you go to webchat.freenode.net (or .com, I really can't remember, but whichever one works, that's the one!). Then in the little box that says 'Nickname,' you type in something like 'HIMG' or 'Hello', because undoubtedly Helloitsmeguys won't fit (but it might. Just don't freak out if it ends up being Helloitsmeg instead [unless your name was Meg. That'd be cool.]). Next, there's the 'channel' box, in which you type, without the quotes, '#wikia-warriorcats-fanfiction'. Then, there will be a bunch of squiggly letters that you have to type out to make sure you're not a robot. Good stuff, those un-robot-o-fiers. Next, just hit 'submit' or 'next' or 'confirm'.

Finally, you'll find some code-looking stuff scrolling through a screen, and then it will clear. On the righthand side, you'll have your nick list of everyone who is online, and at the bottom is the long white bar in which you type.

And that concludes Red's scattered tutorial on IRC! :D
