Forum
The CTWUG-WoW Forum is probably one of the biggest sources of critical information you will wind about the server.

IRC
The CTWUG-WoW IRC channel is the main communication portal between WoWers. Their are constantly CTWUG-WoWers communicating on the channel about mostly World of Warcraft related topics. Firstly, IRC (Internet Relay Client) is a chat interface were you can more than chat with other WoWers and Wuggers. The channel has a channel topic which is updated as required and provides server related information. It is used to display the status of the server and other events occurring within the World of Warcraft.

WoWBot
The WoWBot functions similary to bottie in CTWUG's main channel #ctwug. The WoWBot is only available when the server is online which is a clear indication of the server status when the CTWUG-WoW channel topic hasn't been updated. The WoWBot also does not respond to a conversation so it does not help to start a conversation with it.
The WoWBot does respond to certain commands. To view these command type '-commands' in the CTWUG-WoW channel.Note: if a command is not preceeded by a '-', the WoWBot will not respond.

Facebook Fan Page
The CTWUG-WoW Facebook Fan Page is a newcomer to our communications list. Previously, a group was used on Facebook, but we are trying to move away from this structure as a Fan Page suits are need more closely. The Fan Page is used to chat and promote our server on Facebook. Currently information on the Fan page is not completely up-to-date, but we are trying to change this. A very useful feature of the fan page is posting in game images for all fans to view. This feature is also available on the website.
We encourage you to make use of this page, to allow our fan page to grow.
