• I'm on #ass-c™, how come there's no one here?

  Double check to see if you are on the right server. If you logged onto an Undernet or Efnet server or some other IRC server, you will not be able to find any of the regular #ass-c™ crowd. Also, maybe there just isn't any one on during the time you logged on.

• What channel do I go to?

  #ass-c™ on most nights
  #assc on rare occasions

• When do ASS-Cers™ go on #ass-c™?

  Just about any time during the day, however, the peak times are from 10pm EST / 7pm PST until 4am EST / 1am PST.

• I'm on AOL, How do I get IRC to work?

  Make sure you have AOL version 3.0 or 4.0, then follow the above instructions on downloading an IRC client or use the JAVA based chat program.
