Chat

Although it isn't exactly what anyone would call "active", there is indeed an Official Veekun Chat. It is on my very own IRC server.

If you already have an IRC client, installed, you can go directly to irc.veekun.com #veekun. (If you want to use SSL, use port 7001.)

Otherwise, do the following:

Download and install an IRC client. A good free (open-source) one is X-Chat, which has Windows builds provided by silverex.
To connect just once, you can click the link above and be done. Your name will be your Windows logon by default.
Otherwise, run it; you will get a list of a lot of networks. You probably don't care about any of them. Add a network called Veekun (you can change the name by clicking it), edit it, and give it a server of irc.veekun.com. You might want to turn on autoconnect if you don't use IRC for anything else.
You can enter a name to use up at the top next to "Nick name". "User name" doesn't really matter.
Connect to it. Tell the "would you like to join a channel" popup to go away, and type /join #veekun to join the channel.
Commands begin with a slash. /nick newname changes your name. /me does something performs an action.
People tend to leave IRC open when they aren't around so they can see what they missed when they come back. People are often also doing other things at the same time. This isn't like IMs; your screen doesn't flash every single time someone says anything. If nobody immediately responds when you show up, don't leave right away! Give them a chance to notice something happened.

I would add some more detail, but I haven't actually installed X-Chat from scratch in quite some time, so I'd have to remove it completely and reinstall it to see exactly what it asks of you.

If there's enough interest, I might flesh this page out some more.

No, I'm not going to install a Java chat.
