	If you ~~have an urgent question~~, ~~IRC is often the quickest way~~ to contact us. ~~But also if~~ you don't have a question and just want to hang out in our chat, feel free to join!		For any support questions, you are free to contact us via email on ulyssis@ulyssis.org, but if your questions are of a less sensitive nature and could benefit from a back-and-forth, it could be useful to contact us on IRC. Do keep in mind that you may have to wait until someone notices your question, which may take a while. If you don't have a question and just want to hang out in our chat, feel free to join!

			Keep in mind that our IRC network has been a social space for several generations, so you will find alumni and students from different walks of life there, not just ULYSSIS members and users.
