#EarthBound, Starmen.Net's official chat room, is a great way to meet EarthBound fans from all around the world! You'll find people to talk to around the clock, about video games and... well, pretty much whatever you can think to chat about. It's more fun than Tendakraut Casserole, if that's, you know, your idea of fun.

The chatroom is located on IRC (Internet Relay Chat). IRC is much more fun to use than those horrible Java chat rooms out there. If you're ready to get connected with your fellow EarthBound fans, just read below to learn how to get an IRC client, and check out our "Get Connected" section to learn how to sign on and use basic IRC functions.

mIRC: The very best Windows IRC client available. It's really the way to go if you want to get on IRC on a Windows-based computer.
ChatZilla: A plugin for Firefox/Mozilla. Good for those who hate having a bunch of programs open at once.
Babbel: Same as the Mac version, it offers a fairly customizable IRC experience.

Thanks to www.ircreviews.org for the following information.

IRCle: An IRC client that works for MacOS 7.0 or better (including OSX). Now includes clients that work with both PowerPC and Intel Macs.
Colloquy: Seems to be a fully-featured IRC client that's plenty expandable. Bonus: It's free!
Snak: A powerful and up to date Macintosh IRC client. Hey, it even does drag and drop! Fewer scripts available than for ircle, and it uses more memory, but some people prefer its appearance and interface. For OSX 10.3.9 or newer, and both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.
ShadowIRC: A fast and configurable MacOS client; supports plugins, and is available for free including source under the GNU Public License.
XChat: This is a port of the Unix/X-Windows X-Chat program to OSX. It's a good client with powerful scripting and a full set of features, and it's open source.
Babbel: Multilingual, multiple servers.
