#jkpj13 is an IRC channel created by jkpj13 in September 2006. It has a few regulars from #mzx and a few from some other channels who have no relations to the communities of MegaZeux, ZZT, or any other GCS. They found their way in through jkpj13's oddly successful methods of advertising it by simply inviting random people to it. It attracted a surprising amount of members in the first week, but has somewhat rolled off in membership to just a few people.

The channel is run by jkpj13, paulguy, Guy, and Blizzarddog (a non-MZXer). For a short time, Commander Pancake was an op, but within a matter of days, his status was taken away as well becoming banned from the channel. The ops' general philosophy of the channel is you can talk about almost anything as long as it doesn't totally offend them.

It is quite successful despite being created by such a new member to the community. The channel averages about 6 to 8 members, but can reach 10 to 15 members at peak hours. When the channel first grew in popularity, it had more users than #mzx. However, a lot of those people did not come back the next day. Oddly enough, even with so few people, it still tends to have more females in it than #mzx on a good day.
