Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
IRC is the best way to ask ASB related questions and chat with the other nerds, in general.
Just get a Mibbit account (Link above), log in, go to chat, select server SynIRC, register your nick, add #capasb to your AJOIN, and you're good to go.
