Users can connect at any time, however there's no guarantee anyone will be around! IRC meetings are sometimes held in the IRC. for more information about when they will be held and what happens during one of these meetings, please see Ratchet & Clank wiki:IRC meetings.

How to accessEdit

To access through your web browser go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ and type your user name into the user name box, #R&C into the channel box and click connect.

If you have an IRC chat client, then you probably know how to access our channel. If not, simply connect to a freenode server and type /join #R&C. Alternatively try using this link: irc://irc.freenode.com/R&C

If you are having problems, ask an administrator for help.

Useful informationEdit

Users with the @ symbol next to their name are administrators, excluding ChanServ. ChanServ is an IRC robot that connects our channel to freenode, if no one except ChanServ is in the channel, consider it empty as ChanServ does not 'talk'.

For more information talk to someone in the #R&C channel, or contact an administrator on their talk page.

RulesEdit

Please be polite and do not offend other users. Administrators can kick (temporarily remove) and ban (block for a certain amount of time) disruptive or uncooperative users on the IRC.

1. Do not offend other users by insulting or harassing them or doing similar things.
2. Do not display or discuss content that could be offensive to younger people (whilst the IRC is illegal for under 13s, remember that under 13s can use it and some of the games are rated 3+).
3. Do not swear in the channel, you can use whatever profanity is spoken in the Ratchet & Clank series - that does not include implied profanity!
4. Do not disrupt on-topic conversations with off-topic nonsense.
5. No spam.

BotsEdit

HunterG-88Edit

HunterG-88 is a bot owned by Hunterj and is the bot used in #R&C. Please contact Hunterj with any suggestions, complaints or praise you may have about his bot! Please also note that he logs all conversations made in the IRC when he is present for future reference.
