I've been reading a lot of "I don't have IRC installed" and "What's IRC" on the forums recently, and to be honest, it's getting a bit silly. So without further ado, I'm going to solve all the problems.

#LolisAndMahjong is essentially our "home base". Most of us idle there. If you need a sub, join and ask around. It might take a while depending on what time you join though.
Questions, comments, etc. go here.

To help those, who don't know what's IRC and stuff, I can answer their questions.
I don't have IRC installed, where can I aquire and install the IRC?
Simply from here --> http://www.mirc.com/
So go fetch it and install it.
What's IRC?
IRC stands for International Relay Chat. Literally, it's a chatroom, where everyone from worldwide can talk there. If everyone have a MSN, a Yahoo, a Skype, then you can imagine how the IRC chatroom works. It works like those programs I referred earlier.
Bakabt's chatroom isn't allowing me to enter. Why?
Simply, you need to register your nick. How do you do it? Follow the procedure.
1) When you enter, you'll see a window like this

then fill the following blankets
Nickname: Put your own nick here
Alternative: Put another nick here, that relates to you
Name: Your nick of whatever you like, or your real name.
E-mail: your own e-mail
then go to the list to the left and select "Servers", then find and select Rizon --> Random Server, finally click the "select" box.
Go back to the "Connect" from the list from the left and, finally, press the "connect" box to connect to the IRC.
2)When you are being connected, you'll see a window like this:

then simply press "lolisandmahjong" to enter to our Mahjong Home Base, as Kiririn mentioned earlier. If you want to enter BakaBT's chatroom again, then follow this last procedure.
3) to the left of the chatroom, there's a blank window, that looks like a list, you'll see the phrase as in my example "Rizon Tannosuke". Simply select it.
Then type "/ns help". It'll pop up a list of some syntax commands to type in.
Later, type "/ns register help" to see how do it want you to type this syntax. and follow the procedure as it says.
Once you type the e-mail, the password and the cellphone of your liking, you'll receive an e-mail at your e-mail hoster. Go fetch it to follow its last instroction to complete the registration procedure.
Finally you can enter the bakabt chatroom, as you wish. :)
Hint: Once you have done the procedure and you want to enter as much as you want, simply go File --> Select Server from the command bar at the top left, then select "Options" from the list, finally, select "Perform..." and tick the box from the "Enable Perform on connect". Once you ticked it, write down this list at the white blanket, as in my example
/nick Tannosuke
/ns identify <whatever>
/j lolisandmahjong
/j bakabt
Good luck. :)

I know, this may come late but: HELL YEAH !!! You are right and it is a good thing that you said so. To be honest, the first time i came across this post, i didn´t realize his mistake but got the feeling that something was just wrong. Strange wired phenomena. Anyway, i did re-visist just NOW and hell, there is it: IRC.... "I" is for sure not "international" :D
Damn me, stupid cat, why i didn´t realize the first time ? :D
