Hello, here! Mackmoron11 has set up an IRC channel that we all can use. There is no charge, and you don't need to create an account. For all interested, it can be accessed through this link. To get on, type your username in the top box that says "Traveler" and type AOEW in the box that says "javausers". To use the IRC, you need to have an up-to-date version of Java. Happy Editing! Another simpler way to access is by simply using Freenode's new web client by clicking here and choose your nick in the "Nickname" box. For those who want to apply for Operator Privileges, please file an RfO here.
