Many Doomers can be found on IRC. Some popular channels are:

 * #legacy on Freenode (chat)
 * #nightmare2 on QuakeNet (chat)
 * #unidoom on OFTC (chat)
 * #zdaemon on Freenode (chat)

Some IRC channels were once quite popular, but are now defunct for various reasons:
 * #doom on EFNet and Freenode
 * #doom2 on EFNet
 * #doomroom on EFNet, Undernet and Freenode
 * #doomworld on Telefragged
