Real time chat VIA IRC

I am thinking about setting up a chat server that anyone can log into for free for some real time car or whatever based chat. I dont have enough car friends where I am at and I am the only one with an olds. I am thinking about setting up either an IRC server or just a channel on an existing server would be dandy would any fellow car guys calls be interested in learning how to do this?? I would be up for setting it up and helping people figure it out or there maybe other mediums more suitable. I can literally talk about cars and bs all day long.

A Skype group may be a good alternative too. That would be my primary "go to" solution for something like that these days. I haven't used IRC in years now.

Edit: Browser based chat, no installs required: https://rizon.net/chat
Enter a user name and the #classicolds in channel. You don't need to register.


Ignore this question: Is there a link for a browser based login? For those of us interested but too lazy to install mIRC?

We used to have a system in place on this site. No one used it much and it was removed.
