IRC Clients:
- Chatzilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16)

Non-Download Browser IRC Clients:
- Mibbit (http://www.mibbit.com/)
Now, download one of those or use one of the browser ones. Connect to irc.forestnet.org and join the channel #2238 by typing the command in the text box: /join #2238
Then do /nick [yournamehere] (most IRC clients have a name selection on startup) for people to identify you instead of being called, for example, "Leaf1185" (because that's automatic for irc.forestnet.org) etc. To register a nickname, use /ns register [password] [email] while using the name you want to register. Do not use a fake email to register a nickname, it has to be an email account that you can pick up the email from and activate it.
