[i][b]FAQ[/b][/i]

[i]- Do I need a microphone to use IRC?[/i]
No, IRC is a text chat, you are thinking of ventrilo.

[i]- The page does not load for me?[/i]
Try clearing your cache and cookies, if not a different browser might help.

[i]- Is there a mobile version of IRC?[/i]
There are a few, I have not research it but I believe there are some, the best ones you must pay for.

[i]- Isn't it the same as RuneScape Friends Chat?[/i]
No, it is different, you can join multiple channels at the same time and you can easily access Runescape information with the commands from Impact Bot, it is also easier to talk especially if you don't want to login in to Runescape.

[i]- Do I have to sign up or download anything?[/i]
You do not have to sign up, the only thing where you must provide your email for is registering you nick, this is so no-one can take your nickname when they login to IRC and some features such as adding people to Access List requires registered nicks.
Download is optional for IRC, you can either stick to a web client (mibbit.com) or download a separate IRC client for yourself.
