I want to chat now. What do I have to do? Simply enter a login name in the box above and you're inside.
There are many channels with different topics - choose one you like. You get further information by clicking on "Help".  Register your nickname - Choose a Nickname
By registering a nickname you get a lot of additional features. For example you can have your own profile (with photo), chatmail and write access in the message boards. Besides that, your nickname will be password protected so nobody except yourself can use it.
