Want to get some help from some fellow creative people?
Just wanna chat and hang out?
There's a chat for all that!
You can read the chat rules and guidelines here (and please do - it will save everyone, including yourself, a lot of headache). If you want, you can also read How To Behave In A Creative Help Community and Social Tips For The Socially Awkward.
You can access the chatroom through Esper.net's webchat here - just enter #CreativeHangout into the Channels box. Alternatively, you can download an IRC client (such as HexChat or AndroIRC) to access #CreativeHangout on irc.esper.net.
UPDATE: Apparently, EsperNet's web client has been down - but no worries! You can use Mibbit's online client over here. Just click the "Server" option, enter "irc.esper.net" into the Server box, put your nickname in the Nick box, and enter "#CreativeHangout" into the Channel box.
No sign-up or registration is necessary. If you need any help, please refer to the help section on Esper.net's website.
