3rd gen Maxima chat
Since alot of us are constantly chatting on AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo I figured why not just create an IRC chat for all of us 
The network is 'irc.slashnet.org'
The channel is '#4DSC'
----------
(credit mchne)
for people who have never used IRC before, and/or have no idea what it is, I'll explain as simply as I can:
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. sounds intimidating, it's not. it's just your standard chat room network that anyone on the internet can use.
1) go to http://www.mirc.com and download the latest mIRC client. install it.
2) once you install it, open it up, and fill out the little popup form that has the box for your nick and all that other stuff (for future reference, your "nick" on IRC is your name).
3) in the main window, type /server irc.slashnet.org -- this is the server that our channel (channel is another name for chat room) is on.
4) after you type this, wait a couple of seconds, and a bunch of stuff will spam down the screen. after it stops, you'll probably get a little popup box with a channel list to choose from, and a box to enter your own channel name. in that box, type #4DSC -- this will enter you into the room.
** if you don't get the little popup box with the channel list, just type /join #4DSC in the main window.
5) that's it... you're done. if it's your first time it might seem like a little much (if not, good), but you'll get the hang of it.
----------
IDLING: it would help keep the channel alive and help growth a LOT if people would idle in the room, even when not chatting, and when away from their computers.
Hope to see you guys in there

I agree but is the best option we got for the moment....
and you got something against
??? Just kidding Brian, IRC does suck monkey *****. Especially since you eventually have to pay to use it. We should try to set up a AIM chatroom just for Maxima owners...
