The easiest way to get on IRC is to use the web chat.

If you'd prefer to use a real IRC client, here are the details:

Server: irc.tfes.org
Port: 7000 (requires SSL)
Chat room: #theflatearthsociety


Note for newcomers: This IRC channel is mostly used for light socialising and posting memes. If you want to ask questions about Flat Earth Theory, please do so on the forum.

If you are interested in having a channel for Flat Earth-related discussion, please create a thread in Suggestions & Concerns so we can gauge interest. It is not out of the question, but currently there are not enough people on IRC who are interested for it to be worthwhile.

Thanks. Sticky'd.

Alas, it still doesn't work for me.  I don't understand how IRC suddenly became so much more technical and complicated.

I got it to work on mIRC by using the direct URL. It wouldn't let me connect to either irc.relic.net or tauri.relic.net on any ports.

I can't install mIRC because I'm missing "msvcp110.dll," whatever the fuck that is.

You'll need this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

Also HexChat is a pretty good IRC client imo.

I can't install that for the exact same reason.

[Pete Svarrior]

Wait, how? That should provide the dll you're missing

[Saddam Hussein]

I need the thing I'm missing to install the thing I'm missing.  It's terrible.

I don't even care to find out what you're doing wrong, but I'm sure you're doing something wrong.

When in doubt, delete system32.

[beardo]

Reinstall your OS, sadaam.

Or better yet, install Gentoo.

Use xchat Saddam, that works fine for me

Same problem.

[DuckDodgers]

I had the same issue you did Saddam, but the Microsoft link pp provided allowed me to download it.

Same problem.

Just reinstall Windows already.

I have an ominous feeling that if I try this, the exact same message will stop me, and I'll be completely fucked.

Install Linux.
