The guys over at Stardock have kindly donated IRC server space for Neowin visitors. This means you can interact with the Neowin team, its members and chat to people all over the world real-time without having to register!
To connect you need an IRC client like the popular shareware mIRC client, or the freeware alternative Bersirc. The details are as follows:
Server: irc.neowin.net port: 6667
Room: #neowin
To register your nickname enter the following: /msg nickserv REGISTER password email (Password = what you want as a password. Email = a valid email address) and then enter your nickname and password in the "Connect" option of your IRC client. Have fun, and hope to see you there!
