Problem
If I were to connect to #sctfio
on chat.freenode.net
, I might be able to find some interesting things, like people to talk to, admins to ask for help, and most importantly, the flag for this challenge.
Answer
Overview
Go to the IRC and get the flag.

Any IRC client can be used to solve this problem. The simplest way is to go to the chat link from the main site and hitting the Start button. Once on the channel, looking at the topic reveals a strange bit of text: flag{hanging_on_irc}
.
