IRC is a live chat network that enables people all over the Internet to type to one another in real-time! The #CFS IRC channel is getting quite active. We exchange some good information -- but mostly it's just a lot of fun!

We like to talk about pizza, et cetera.

When do people meet?

Recently it seems that people are available on channel #CFS at almost any time, although the most popular time is 11 PM Eastern time USA, which is 8 PM in Los Angeles, 4 AM in London, and in Sydney is 3 PM in the winter and is 1 PM in the summer.

How do I get on the #CFS channel?

There are several different IRC networks. Our #CFS channel is located on the Undernet IRC network.
