==#Daria (irc.sorcery.net)(current)==
The current #Daria was established in November 2007 after AIM's ability to handle chat rooms collapsed, forcing the abandonment of SFMB2. Although #Daria+ was still active at the time, the presence of 24/7 lurkers prevented anyone from resetting that channel and getting Ops authority. The switch back to IRC offered a number of advantages over the old AIM chat, most importantly the ability to ban asshats. The ban feature was used within two weeks of the channel's creation when the ever-annoying Bliss Ticks managed to find his way in (he had been a major pain in the ass during the last several months that SFMB2 was in operation). #Daria was quite active when it was initially created, with most of the regulars from SFMB2 being able to make the switch to IRC. The channel is now largely dead.
A section of Lawndale Online was devoted to providing a permanent archive of #Daria-related stuff, including channel news, instructions for setting up various IRC clients, and user-submitted quotes from the channel.

==Skype==
Users will occasionally get together on Skype for a group audio/video chat. These sessions are typically announced on the PPMB at least a few days beforehand.
==Daria Discord Server (current)==
Discord helped resurrect the chatroom concept. Likewise, the [[Daria Discord Server]] (now known as the 'Zon) has given fans a place to discuss the show in real time.
