IceChat is a freeware Windows IRC client written in Visual Basic. It provides some features many other IRC clients do not, such as emoticons and an official support channel. It has support for multiple servers, and has an easy to use interface. It has scripting support, aliases, popup menus, all easily edited within the program. The program is constantly in development, with a new version (7) just released in September of 2006. The official support channel for IceChat is on the QuakeNet IRC Network in the #icechat channel.
The client started back in August 2000, and over the years, and many versions released, has developed into a very sophisticated IRC Client. It was made available to the public in April 2002 on Cnet's website, and now is available on dozens of other download sites.
