Wow, I got really confused over this one and had to ask our SYSOP.

OK here's the lowdown:

1) You DO have to log into "irc.sonicnet.com" to take part (I don't really
understand why this is, but trust me, it has something to do with our chat
server software.) So, although you don't have to use "Global Chat" to
participate (although it is nice, and free), you do have to set your irc
client to "irc.sonicnet.com"

2) The channel WILL be named "#hunter", so you won't have to search for a
channel or anything messy like that.

3) As far as I know, my IRC nickname is "DJlo-Ki"

Thanks much to buddahead for helping me clarify, and for taking the time to
help me out.

Peace Out,
