Who invented IRC? Jarkko Oikarinen in August 1988. How is it used? It was used to report on the 1991 Soviet coup d'etat attempt throughout a media blackout. It was previously used in a similar fashion during the Gulf War. Logs of these and other events are kept in the ibiblio archive. What is a channel? A basic means of communication in an established IRC session. What are commands? A line-based structure with the client sending single-lined messages to the server, receiving replies to those messages and receiving copies of some messages sent by other clients. My recommendation to Southland Media is to use IRC. --Rpbsic (talk) 15:28, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
