Hi, The following is a brief description of IRC. There is not a permanent Parkinsons channel. however, I try to create #parkinsons most nights between 8:30 and 10:00 CST. There are two IRC networks. One of them is known as EFnet and the other one is known as UNDERNET. Which of these you will be accessing will depend on the server you use. If no one is logged on to a channel it will not show up on the list of channels. To "create" a channel use the JOIN command to acccess the channel. The #parkinsons channel will disappear as soons the last person leaves it. The following is a partial list of UNDERNET SERVERS.
