IRC (Internet-Relay-Chat) is a text-based chat medium. In short, it is the predecessor to the instant messaging clients like MSN/AIM that most people use today. Although somewhat antiquated, it is still in use and is a great alternative to proprietary and closed-off chat media. The Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki has a registered channel on the FreeNode IRC network; for IRC-savvy users, simply join #wikia-yugioh on irc.freenode.net.
If you are unfamiliar with IRC, or are behind a firewall preventing you using it, visit irc.wikia.com, choose a name, select #wikia-yugioh from the drop-down channel box, and click login to join the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki's channel. Other options are available by clicking the advanced options link. You can also access the channel by going to java.freenode.net and typing in a username then hitting connect (if you didn't click the link, then make sure that the box with the # before it says wikia-yugioh before you hit connect).
