It's already set up & administrated by one of our loyal fans, DMP. I hope all of our irc users will see this & make the switch right away. If you are unfamiliar with irc, it's a chat program that enables you to talk with developers & fans of the game. There's a nice tutorial here by Pardner if you want to try it. You can check the status of our game servers there, challenge other irc users to a game, and get answers to questions pretty quickly. Big thanks to DMP for setting this up & patrolling the channel.

By the way, as the stand alone draws closer I notice that a lot of people are calling the current version of the game "Smokin' Guns" on several websites. Our website url & irc channel have changed in preparation for the transition & I suppose it's not really a big deal if people jump the gun a bit about this. But the truth is, the game that's available right now is Western Quake 3 untill the stand alone is released. Then & only then will it be known as Smokin' Guns. I say this out of respect for the original team who created this outstanding mod for Q3 & gave us permission to improve it. Iron Claw Interactive.
