im confused about what IRC is, is that some sort of chatting program such as Xfire?

btw add me on xfire if you got it -> bountyhunter3600

Yes, you can chat through IRC like you do with xfire.
IRC is much more complex though.
You need a client such as webchat, mIRC, chatzilla, icechat and so on to connect to an IRC network. I use mIRC, for example.
Toribash's IRC server is irc.toribash.com.

To connect to the server with webchat just click on help at the top of the forums.
You can connect to various channels such as #market, #support, #toribash, #outside and so on.

Many clans have their own channels too.
Just try it out.

thankks

Uh, that depends on the client you are using.
mIRC does not do that unless you use a script.
