Connecting to Rizon

Now that you've installed your IRC client, you need to connect to a Rizon IRC server. A complete list of servers is available here. A web interface is also available.

The recommended server is irc.rizon.net, port 7000. Enter this information into your irc client, along with your desired nickname. Connect.

Once the client has connected, type "/join #applefritter" in the input box to enter the channel.
