Forums
Our forums differ from most Internet forums in that
- the messages are displayed in a threaded tree structure with options to display them in a traditional bulletin board linear fashion, and
- all current threads are displayed on the main page without having to click thorough sub-forums.
This is advantageous for more serious or technical discussions where the relationship of who replied to whom is important. View demo.

Chat rooms
Internet Rely Chat (IRC) is a protocol for real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing. We currently use the FreeNode.net IRC servers. Frequently Asked Questions
