IRC on BBS. it's real and it's beautiful and you can access it NOW!
the iChat client by opicron is fantastic (if a little buggy) but naturally, you can chat on the channel with your favorite non-BBS client as well! so if for some reason you can't connect to the board, you can still join the weekly chat meetup today at 4pm pacific!!
