MelanomaChat is part of Mike's Page - The Melanoma Resource Center and as such takes its place with MEL-L. the melanoma e-mail list , and the other forums provided on this site. #melanomachat is an IRC support community for people whose lives have been changed by melanoma. Being a real-time IRC channel, #melanomachat is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide an opportunity for melanoma patients, caregivers, relatives and friends of melanoma patients to visit together for the exchange of information, support, advice and even off topic chatter.

You can join MelanomaChat right here, right now. All you need to do is enter a nickname below, press enter and you will be connected. Your nickname is a single word, of 9 characters or less. It is used by the chat server and is the means by which other users identify you

You can also use your IRC Client. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is our way of communicating with each other. You can find #melanomachat on the Undernet IRC network. If you don't have one you can download an IRC client program such as mIRC (for MS Windows) or IRCLE (for Mac OS). This software allows you to directly connect to an IRC server, without the delay that may occur with the web page interface. You will also have more IRC options and features than with the web-based chat interface and you can use your browser for navigating to other places while chatting. Whichever method you use, messages while logged on, will appear both on the web page interface to the users logged on there and in the users logged on with an IRC client message window.
