We've created a SilkroadForums on mIRC, its a way to chat directly to eachother, i'll make a basic guide how to download it.
go into:
http://www.mirc.com and download it, fill in information about urself and choose quakenet in the list of servers you get to choose from. Press the lightning button(connect/disconnect) then type /J(J is for Join)SilkroadForums
so connect to quakenet and type /j SilkroadForums and youll be in the chatting room.
To get your irc more good looking u can download skins as nbc-irc but thats up to yourself^^
peace and welcome to srf on mIRC
