What exactly is IRC?

[Ayaoshi]

I looked on the FAQ list, and I didn't see what exactly "IRC" is.
Googled it, but I didn't get much luck..

So, what is it?

^^ If this question has been already answered, I'm so sorry - I didn't see it on the FAQ list and I'm way way too lazy to go through 8 pages and manually search for it.

Thanks!

Thanks. I feel like an idiot since I didn't check Wiki. Lol.

To put it simply, IRC is chat. It's similar to IM, except that it focuses on group chats instead of 1-on-1 chats.
