Strictly speaking, IRC refers to the Internet Relay Chat protocol, RFC 1459. In common use, however, the term is used to refer to whichever networks and servers one familiarizes oneself which run IRC services. A network is a tree of linked servers which can all share channels, or "rooms," and for which there are one set of administrators and operators. Channel communications are distributed network-wide so that the server you choose to use does not prevent you from talking to any one particular person on that network (with all the usual optimization one might imagine). There are a vast number of separate IRC networks.
Connecting
You must download client software to connect to any given IRC network. If you are a windows user, you are most likely going to end up using mIRC. Wow. You faggot. Many servers on the more popular networks require you to run a service called ident, which historically was intended to be used by the owner of a computer in order to ensure that connections from his or her computer created by users other than him- or herself could be traced back to that user specifically. Of course, there are no girls on the internet, so forget all that shit I just said about "her". Clients for idiots include their own ident server. mIRC is one of these. Linux server administrators and their teenage faggy-distro-mouse-using-xwindows-crippled cretin counterparts can install one of many "identd" packages to the same end, oidentd likely being the most popular.
YTMND IRC
The #ytmnd IRC channel (or "room") can be found at EFnet. As of 15th of april, 2007, the channel was globally juped by EFNet staff, which simply means there aint no #ytmnd no more. There was, however, a YTMND-specific IRC server located at irc.ytmnd.com. After being ddosed to oblivion, it was sold to host porn. The domain "irc.ytmnd.com" shows http://sexyhornylesbians.net at the bottom which is irrefutable proof. Apparently same thing happened with the radio server. Tough luck, Go watch porn instead. Alternatively, you can join #ytmnd2, currently the closest to an open official chatroom for ytmnders.
Caveat!
In general, YTMND users are better off staying on the YTMND Forums, where their activity and speech is monitored and regulated and there are actual threads of conversation taking place. IRC is a dangerous place for a newcomer to the Internet, because everyone who uses it is inherently angry at themselves for not having a real life.
Recommended Use
Join and pay attention a maximum of three times per day, every day. Massage affected area gently until you are banned for pasting ridiculous ASCII art which does not honor the correct control character set for standard clients or have any hard spaces in it. Take with food, just be sure clean your keyboard afterwards, you slobby cheeto-eating motherfucker. If rash, vomiting, laughter, happiness, kickban, moderation, or GTFO FAGGOT persists, get the fuck off of your computer.
