    2. Description
    "Live Reptile Chat" is hosted on a server thru IRC (Internet Relay Chat). You can join the chat using either a website integrated client platform, or a separate IRC client. (Read #4 for more information). Many frequent chatters are on daily, but more active during the morning and afternoons based on the US timezones.
    
    
    3. Chat steps to follow
    Here is a few steps to follow when in the chat room.
    A. Direct questions - No need to say you have a question or if you may ask a question, just ask your questions. Please be patient when asking a question. Quite often, chatters are multi tasking and may take a few to reply back.
    B. Unique Nick - Using a unique nickname is a good key. Forum name works also. Using the web integrated chat, your nick when joining will most likely be Guest. To change your nick, you will need to type the following in the chat. Type: /nick yournewnick
    C. AFK'ing - Quite often chatters are logged into the chat 24/7, and may add AFK (Away from Keyboard) to their names. If you wish to stay connected to the chat when away, we ask that you also follow this step. Type: /nick Yournick_AFK
    D. Copy & Pasting - When using the web integrated chat, clicking on links is disabled. For this reason, if you wish to go to a link that is posted within the chat, you will need to highlight the url, and with the left mouse button still down hit Ctrl+C. This will save the url or whichever text in chat that you highlighted into your computers clipboard. Than open up your internet explorer browser, and paste the url into the address bar by hitting Ctrl+V.
    E. Links/Pictures - As in the forums, you may post links to pictures in chat. Suggestion links are also ok. However, posting links solely for advertisement purposes is not allowed.
    F. Respect/Decency - The same rules regarding decency and respect to other users that are set in the forum also apply here. If you are abusive/offensive to users in the chat room, you WILL be banned. This may also lead to a permanent ban from posting in the forums also.
