The correct title of this article is #worms on GameSurge. The # is missing and the initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.

"#worms" is an IRC channel on the GameSurge network. It allows wormers to chat among each other with ease.

IRC newbie joining guide

To connect to an IRC network, you'll need an IRC client (a program designed to connect to IRC networks for chatting). mIRC is the most popular choice for Windows users. You can download it from the official mIRC download page. Install it. This guide is designed for mIRC, since the writer doesn't use any other IRC client.

Run mIRC. Go into the options menu (Tools -> Options) and set up your nickname and alternative nickname in the "Connect" menu (found in the list of menus on the left side of the main options window), then go to the "Servers" menu and drop down the box labelled "IRC Network". Find and select "GameSurge". Then click the "Connect To Server" button.

Once you're connected, a favourite channels window will appear. You can just delete all the entries in the "Or select a channel from the list below:" box, because those are insane channels that you'll never connect to and probably don't even exist on the GameSurge network. So, after deleting all those entries, add a new entry by clicking "Add".

Type "#worms" in the "Channel" box. Enable "Join on connect". Below the "Networks" dropdown box, click "Add" and select "GameSurge", press "OK", then choose "GameSurge" in the "Networks" dropdown. Press "OK" in that window. Double-click on the new "#worms" entry you just made, and you'll be in the Worms IRC channel.
