IRC, or Internet Relay Chat, is a chat system located on the Internet. IRC allows people from anywhere in the world to talk to one another, on IRC you may also have a private chat system where you may directly message someone.

The Neocities Internet Relay Chat is a chatroom just for Neocities. By going on the IRC, you may be able to talk to a number of people, including Kyle Drake (who is known as "`kyledrake`"), however, the IRC can be empty a lot of the time, barley getting over six users at one time. This is probably due to how many people use The unofficial Neocities' Discord, and that IRC as a whole is dropping in numbers.

The server for the IRC is located on Freenode (formerly known as Open Projects Network).

On the 11th of June 2018, Kyle Drake was asked about what he thinks about The unofficial Neocities' Discord server by its owner, jackomix (Rocketmix);
