Online Community
From YoYo Wiki
The yo-yoing community exchanges tricks, event details and yo-yoing information in many places on the internet. These fall into several categories: forums, blogs, video sites, IRC chat rooms and normal websites.

[edit] IRC chat rooms
For more immediate chat there are chat rooms where yo-yoers meet to chat. Some sites allow you to chat on their site but it is easier to use a proper IRC chat program.
[edit] Chat rooms
- Server: irc.yoyoing.com Port: 7002 Room: #yo-yo
- Server: irc.everywherechat.com Port: 6667 Rooms: #yoyonation
- Server: irc.vbulletin-chats.com Port: 6667 or 9999 Rooms: #theyo & #yoyonation
- Whilst there are two servers that have a yoyonation chat room the vbulletin one tends to get more visitors.
