Libera
Freenode is a Internet Relay Chat network, and a project of the Peer-Directed Projects Center. The IRC network is at irc.freenode.net, port 6667. (You can also use other names such as "irc.debian.org", "irc.gnu.org", or "irc.kde.org", which forward to Freenode.) Their web site is at http://freenode.net.
The channels at Freenode include #nethack, #slashem, and #wikia.
#nethack
This is a channel about NetHack. The bot Rodney reports any deaths on nethack.alt.org. This channel is far more busy than either #slashem or #wikia.
This channel is not only busy with discussion, it is busy with on-topic discussion. It seems that users are constantly discussing the game. NetHack, fount of infinite patches, wiki pages, and YASDs, actually interests many players well and often. Rodney has a constructive role here, supplying important info and links.
#slashem
This is a channel for SLASH'EM. The bot Pallas reports deaths on slashem.crash-override.net. The bot SLethe reports death in the other playground on slashem.crash-override.net. Unfortunately, the channel mostly contains idlers and does not supply ready chat.
#wikia
Wikia is the host of this wiki. Their channel has room for the Wikia staff, for several Wikians like you. Discussions include problems and configuration issues with Wikia wikis, questions about how to use the wikis, off-topic discussions, and discussions about Wikipedia, since no one ever seems to discuss Wikipedia in #wikipedia.
When Wikia registered this channel (after the move from #wikicities), they opted not to have ChanServ join this channel.
http://irc.wikia.com is a web portal that brings you to #wikia.
