Here's how to effectively use IRC:

Our IRC channels are #hrwiki and #hrwiki-fanstuff. They can be accesed through chat.hrwiki.org, although it is recommended that you use an IRC client.

Message	Action
/join <channel name>	Opens a window connecting you to the specified chat room
/nick <nickname>	Changes your nickname to the new name specified in <nickname>
/msg <username> <message text>	Sends a private message to the user specified in <username>
/me <action>	Prints a message in the chat room that says you are performing the given action specified in <action>
/quit <message>	Closes your connection and exits your chat program, displaying <message> as you quit.
/part or /leave [<channel>]	Causes you to leave only the channel you're in (in some IRC clients), or the channel specified.

Mode	Effect
+c	Strips colors from messages such that every message is displayed as the default color.
+f <channel>	In combination with +i or +J, forwards extra users to <channel>.
+g	Any user in a given channel +i can /invite another user not in the channel.
+i	Only invited users or users on the channel invite-exemption list may enter the channel.
+j	Oper only: Prevents the channel from being registered.
+J x,y	Allows y users into the channel every xy seconds.
+k	Requires a key, or password, upon /join.
+l number	Limits total users in channel to number.
+m	Only users with op or voice status are able to speak.
+n	Messages can not be send to the channel with /msg #channel Message.
+P	Oper only: The channel becomes permanent and can not be removed.
+Q	Blocks forwarded users from a channel +f from being sent to the channel.
+r	Users that are not identified with NickServ will not be able to join.
+R	Users that are not identified with NickServ will not be able to speak.
+s	The channel is kept secret from /whois and /who.
+t	Only operators can alter the channel topic.
