That's okay...it's not really a stupid question.
On IRC, there are many different networks of channels. Think of
each network as its own universe, and each channel as a planet or star
system (to put it in LoGH-type terms). So if you're on one network, you
can only talk to people who are also on that one network.
When you log onto IRC, you choose which network (and which channels) you
want to join.
EFNet is one of the largest and better known networks, and it's where the
#logh channel resides.
That was probably a over-simplified explanation, but for more details, and
general information on IRC and how to get on it, I suggest

Hope this helps,
