Project IRC
Project IRC is a project to determine which Chat (Mibbit's External IRC or Wikia's Internal IRC) is most popular and comfy with the users of the community.

Why?
GeneStarwind and I had disagreement for a few days, started a poll and everything turned into a big mess where nobody was satisfied. So I decided to try another road and came up with this project.

What?
Starting upcoming Friday (which is tomorrow for the Americans) at somewhere between 8-12am PST, the Internal Wikia Chatroom will be closed for a period of 96 hours. It will be put back up upcoming Tuesday. During this time, the users who want to chat with each other will be forced to use the (now-embedded) Mibbit IRC.

Mibbit is a Fully Operational and seperate IRC Client which does not answer to Wikia ToU. The tab to this IRC can be found at the top-navigation dropdown menu under the Community, then IRC Chat tab. Here you can find both a direct link to the actual client itself and an embedded version in the Wikia (thanks to BidPuma.

Personally I would recommend going with the actual URL...

Using the IRC Chat
A link can be found to the IRC Commands and Rules in the Topic header at the #mhwikichatroom on Mibbit.net. Rules were originally written by me and some other (former) admins. The #mhwikichatroom can also be accessed through other Full-IRC Clients such as mIRC and Chatzilla (Firefox Add-on).

Users are free to relentlessly harrass the local operators and admins in the IRC to make their experience using it as smooth as possible.

Once this is all over...
Once this is all over... I have no idea. Time will tell.
