mIRC 6.1 released and IRC for newbs

[TheYak]

 Okay, first off I know that there are other threads on this (IRC) but wanted a short and simple one to avoid confusion.  If you're new to #AGS or have no idea what IRC is or how to chat, see section XXIV-b.  Otherwise, skip to section CLVII, sub-section Alpha-Sierra-Sierra.  

XXIV-b) IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat.  It's much like yahoo-chat or chatrooms on other sites except that it goes directly through various IRC-servers, bypassing all that web-tripe.  If you download a program to use chat (such as mIRC or pIRCh) or even use a web-based IRC-client, you just have to set the server to Random Quakenet Server (with a preference for your locale).  After you're connected to a quakenet server, enter #AGS in the rooms dialogue box.  If there is no dialogue box, use /join #AGS at the prompt.  Rules for chat appear after joining the room.

CLVII)
  Alpha-Sierra-Sierra) mIRC has been updated to 6.1 with a bunch of new features and a lot of bug-fixes.  Go here to download: http://www.mirc.com

okay, I'm done here, return to your evil ways.
