Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a tool for chat room-based interaction across the Internet.

As per the 2008.4 release, IRC is no longer a first-line support tool. First-line support is now offered through Get Satisfaction, which you can access through the link below:

IRC is no longer a primary support tool for Bungee Connect, and is not formally staffed by Bungee Labs personnel.
