IRC Chat
Using our Internet Relay Chat (IRC), you can ask questions and talk to other editors, long-time editors, and administrators in real time.

Warning: Rizon does not allow more than four simultaneous connections at a time. You will be automatically banned from IRC channel for 30 minutes if you do.

Other IRC Clients
There are many ways to connect to IRC. Some of these include;
 * mIRC, which is a stand alone client, with the ability to run more complex scripts/actions/shortcuts.
 * Chatzilla: A Firefox plug in that runs in your browser.
 * Mibbit, a Java based IRC emulator, runs as a browser window without downloading or installing anything. Mibbit also runs on various mobile devices. Has been having issues staying on-line recently.
 * You may choose to connect directly with Mibbit -- Start chatting
