Internet Relay Chat is a protocol for hosting chatrooms where people can come and go and hold conversations (via typed messages, not audio).
It is widely used by communities to get together and discuss topics.
There is an official larryniven.org irc chat server located at irc.larryniven.org and the channel (or room) #knownspace is where conversation happens.
There are usually a few of us on at any given time. The first Saturday of each month is Larry Niven chat time.
Many thanks to Sean Sullivan for kindly providing and maintaining the IRC server, and to Frank Gasperik for organizing the Saturday chats!
Please join us (sometimes Mr. Niven or one of his co-authors drops by)…
If you have an IRC client (such as mIRC) ready, click here.
If you do not have a dedicated IRC client you can join the chat using a Java applet in your browser…
You can also join our chat via the Eris Flash client in your browser by clicking here.
Transcripts of former chats may be found here.
