Full GUI, works on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Though you'll probably want to experiment with different IRC clients when you become more familiar with IRC, for now, try installing one of these: There are many different ones, each with different features and designs but supporting the same protocol in the end. To connect to LizardIRC (or any other IRC network), you'll need a piece of software called an IRC client. They also have channel operator powers in all channels. Note that staff are sometimes referred to as network operators or opers (note the "er" in "opers" opers shouldn't be confused with ops). They can force users to disconnect from the network ( kill), and ban users from connecting in the first place (usually called a g-line, but also referred to as z-lines and k-lines - the distinction is unimportant). Similar to channel operators, there are network staff, or simply staff, responsible for maintaining the integrity of the network. Each channel maintains its own list of ops, though a user can be an op in an unlimited number of channels. Ops can also ban users from channels, preventing them from joining it. Ops include the person who created the channel as well as any people he or she has chosen to also hold the position, and are usually identified by an at sign ( in front of their nickname, the (changeable) name users pick to identify themselves on the network. Users can also be forcibly removed from channels ( kicked) by the channel operators (or ops). To see the conversation happening in a channel and to send messages to it, a user must join a channel to stop participating in the channel and stop receiving messages sent to a channel, a user parts it. Users can send messages directly to other users (and in this case only the other user will see the message), or to channels (and everyone in the channel will see the message). On each network, there are channels which users can join. Users connect to these servers to join the network. The fundamental unit of IRC is the network, a group of servers that are linked together and send messages to each other. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, and is a text-based protocol allowing real-time communication between users, sometimes thousands of them.
