Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a useful way to get help and bounce ideas back-and-forth in real time
it's really good

The links in my original post that begin with irc:// will open whatever IRC client you have installed on your machine, and connect you to the IRC channel. If you have no IRC client installed, then your browser will not know what to do with irc:// protocol handlers.

There are no broken links, just users who lie about "being already familiar with IRC" and fail to actually install an IRC client before clicking those links.

I think he means #autohotkey isn't showing up in the "chat room list" however "ahk" does.
so you may want to change:
When prompted for a channel to join, use: #autohotkey (or /join #autohotkey)
to
When prompted for a channel to join, use: #ahk (or /join #ahk)

as I use the opera client. theres no prompt-to-join. it has a room list and a search box. so I had difficulty to when I searched for "autohotkey". nothing showed up. until I tried AHK.

I found an interesting blog post titled IRC Communication on the planet Mozilla feed today which I believe applies to many newcomers of our channel. To summarize:

Search first - the FAQ, documentation or forum may already have a solution
Don't expect help with specific or complex problems - IRC is live chat so if your query requires much thought you're better off posting on the forums
Use a pastebin for code longer than three lines
Be patient - you only need to ask once, do not repeat yourself or IM everyone
Treat others with respect; we often have defocused convos with members of different ages and backgrounds so we're relaxed and open
Ops are there to help - usually we can be identified as voiced (+v), do not hesitate to contact us
