Clear message

IRC is a great way to talk to other UCCans, as well as people from similar clubs such as CASSA (ECU) and ComSSA (Curtin).

If you want to IRC effectively, your best bet is to SSH to a server and use irssi. To do this, type in "irssi -c irc.ucc.asn.au" and press enter. If you want to stay connected to IRC even when you aren't connected to the server, look into Screen.

Every IRC client has slightly different commands. Here is a list of commands that work in irssi and what they do.
