I have a somewhat stupid question, what is IRC

Hi-

So I have been working with civi since I guess the beginning of the year (wow, has it been that long.) I have a love/hate relationship with it! But I do love the support forum, I can almost always find my answer from previous threads or you all are awesome enough to reply to my specific questions.  But I have to admit I am newer to programming in general and using forums, what is the 'IRC', it will say ping us or hit us up in IRC. How might one accomplish that!?

IRC means Internet Relay Chat and it's basically a group chat. Like you may have had text chats on Skype or Google Chat, IRC is a group chat--anyone can login and chat.

So CiviCRM has its own "channel" which is a chat "room" dedicated to CiviCRM.

See that link above for clients (programs) for your operating system that you can use to chat on IRC.
CiviHosting and CiviOnline -- The CiviCRM hosting experts, since 2007

See here for the official: What to do if you think you've found a bug.
