Alice

More information about it, including how to get an account, is on its wiki page.
Etiquette
Don't be a jerk. Keep the chat and links mostly work-safe, many of us chat from our offices.
Staying On Topic
... is not necessary. This is IRC, after all. Chat away about whatever.
Bots
Oscarbot
Oscarbot is a Limnoria IRC bot that does usual boring IRC-botly duties like tracking when people come and go (oscarbot: seen minivanmegafun), searching for cat videos (oscarbot: google cat videos) and logging activity in the channel.
- For help, say "oscarbot: help".
- To list all installed plugins, do "oscarbot: list".
- All plugins have multiple commands, say "oscarbot: list <pluginname>" to view them.
- For help on a command, say "oscarbot: help <commandname>".
Oscarbot also announces changes made to the ssh:c wiki as soon as they are committed; and spews random Markov-chain phrases.
Baileybot
Baileybot is a smeggdrop-powered, Tcl-programmable bot.
