irc
IRC client now available for site users. Please note, if you’re already registered on this site you can use the client but if you’re not then you have to register to be able to access the chat client, if you’re not registered you’ll get the following message if you try to access the client…”Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here. You can search again by using this form…”. Basically, this is a way to connect to our real time chat room without having to figure out how to set it up yourself on your own computer. This is to chat with admins and other members in….real time. 
You can choose to connect to the YouWantThat.com IRC channel using the IRC client installed on your computer or you can utilize our online IRC client. Why would you use the online client?

If you’re new to either IRC (Internet Relay Chat) or new to OUR IRC channel, please take a moment to read the following notes to ensure the most pleasant experience and to ensure you’re not automatically kicked out of the channel by our automated bots:

Please go to the bottom right area of the chat client and type your nickname (no spaces please) there then hit enter. Doing this will change it from the default giving you a unique nickname in the channel and will keep you from getting kicked by the bot on duty. The bot on duty is programmed to kick any user that has the generic name for more than 2 minutes.
- Interacting with Others: Please ensure you’re polite and respect others. Anyone not following these simple courtesies will be banned and your account on YouWantThat.com will be permanently banned and deleted. Be friendly.
