While #freebsd channels exist on various IRC networks, the FreeBSD + project does not control them or endorse IRC as a support medium. + You may be ignored, insulted, or kicked out if you ask questions on + any channel in IRC, though you may have slightly better luck + in channels named #freebsdhelp where such exist. If you + want to try these or any other channels on IRC, it is nonetheless + at your own risk and any complaints about conduct on those channels + should not be directed to the FreeBSD project.
