Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and other Chat locations

IRC is a means of chatting on the Internet without using proprietary system chats like AOL. It is subdivided into networks such as "EFnet" (the original, more-or-less), "DalNet", and "Undernet".

There are currently three ash-oriented channels on DalNet:

#alt.suicide.holiday is the older of the channels.  Hymie has current Channel Founder status.  If somehow anti-choice trolls take over this channel and you are kicked or banned for open discussion of suicide, please contact the channel founder at ash_channel@yahoo.com. The channel's web pages are at http://ash.xanthia.com/ashirc

A second channel, #anothersuicidesidechannel, has been registered by fadingboy.

There is an older registered channel on DalNet, #ash, which had grown out of the alt.suicide.holiday newsgroup. This channel, however, morphed first into an anti-suicide channel, and then into discussion of a new musical group called ash.  This channel no longer is associated with alt.suicide.holiday.

If you don't have an IRC program, you can use the applet at http://www.dal.net/index.php3.  Use the guest box to login into DalNet.  You must have Java turned on and agree to install the applet in order for it to work.
