Re: Mods to use!
Short Answer: Instant conversation.
LongerAnswer:
Everything has its pros and cons. If you are the kindof person who misses "chatter" or wants fast answers or faster moving games then learning how to use IRC can be rewarding. If you dont type well, tend to edit your posts over and over, rely alot on spell checkers and being able to take the time to look things up then maybe not.
Some people go beyond that and prefer a Skype group or some other voice chat. And some prefer webcam chats where you can see and talk. It can be a very different experience to be able to chat and blitz at the same time. I also really like white-board sites that allow the map to be uploaded and everyone can scribble things on it.
It should also be mentioned that just like the forums that tend to spawn them, different IRC communities have different feels to them. So if one turns you off you might hunt down another. The Chat here doesnt need any extra software (it works in your browser) and its the quietest that I know of. At most there have been 3 answerers in it at the same time and they all tended to be for different games. But its a way to get a taste of it
