I have started an IRC network for the AS community.
My goal is not to compete with the other sites, but to provide a common area where we can all chat in real-time.
If you already have an irc client connect to:
irc.juiceheads.net
if you need an irc client check out www.mirc.com
join channel #juiceheads once you've connected.
WE DO NOT KEEP LOGS AND ALL HOSTMASKS/**'S ARE ENCRYPTED FOR YOUR SAFETY.
look forward to seeing you there
