Some nifty commands to use while in the chat:
/join #channel: Joins a new channel. If you're using java or don't have #duelacademy on autojoin, then you'll need to type this once you're connected.
/part (message): Leaves the current channel you're viewing, with an optional message.
/quit (message): Quits IRC, again with an optional message.
/hop: Parts and joins the channel again.
/nick (nickname): Changes your name.
/me (message): Does an action in the chat.
And... that's about it for the chat, I think. So join up please!
