Clan of the Angry Monkey members are invited to join us in the ClanAM IRC Channel on Freenode. You can usually find someone online there at any time of the day. Peak hours are generally between 9am EDT and 7pm EDT.

The channel is #clanam@irc.freenode.net. Simply get an IRC client, connect to the "irc.freenode.net" server, and join the "#clanam" channel.

I'm clueless, how can I connect to this IRC channel?
