There is an IRC channel available for live chat about topics related to fractal based art..

Windows users who'd like to visit generally use either mIRC or PIRCH.
Linux users have a plethora of clients available. The IRC server to
point at is mudbug.org . Afterwards you can "/join #fractalart"
(without the quotes) and you're there. So far it's just been a few users
most of the time, but we've been visited by quite a number of people in the past few weeks.

With slow IRC Channels like this, it's sometimes best to leave a client
running in the room if you've got a fulltime connection to the
internet.

The take home message is we're there (but possibly idle), so come on by.
