How to View IRC Server List

This tutorial is going to show you how to find some of the most popular IRC servers online.

Introduction:

In this tutorial you are going to learn how to view an IRC server list and then use this information to connect to the server. This is useful for people who are just getting started with IRC.

Step # 1 -- Choosing a Server List

Step # 2 -- Finding Details of a Server

On the page that loads you will see a list of popular IRC servers (those with over 10,000 users). You can just scroll through this list to find one that is of interest to you -- for this example we are going to be looking at the first one on the list, "Aniverse". Click the "Servers" link below this title to get information about how to connect. A page will load and at the top of this you will see some server information which you can use to connect.

Step # 3 -- Accessing the Server

Step # 4 -- Chatting in the Server

Go back to Kiwi IRC and paste the server address into the top box and then enter the port number into the box below, then click "Start". You will be connect to the Aniverse IRC and from there you can chat as you normally would. You have just learned how to view an IRC server list and then connect to a server you found.
