We are taking appropriate steps but we do expect that the volume of traffic will be high, for a temporary period.

That was a jerky thing to say, SG! So I'm leaving, but I'm taking my bandwidth with me! So there.

Zmom... not sure what you mean - but this is all us just covering our tails in case things go crazy.

Its one thing to have several thousand members and non-members coming here on a show night - another thing completely to have the site mentioned on the show itself.

And as you know this was not something that was planned months ago, as far as I know it came into being in less than a week, our provider is kind enough to let us use the bandwidth. Most sites this size would have been begging for funds from members years ago.

Everyone buckle in - hopefuly it will be a smooth ride :-)

Upgrade the server??! We're already hosted for free and get wonderful wonderful support from Bomis! We are and have been doing everything possible to make sure TVCH runs smoothly. :-) Plus, we aren't advertising for the sake of getting more people here and certainly not to make money. This opportunity came to us and we are excited to be able to tell our story.

It says my nickname is erroneus. When I click "join" a pop up comes up and says enter name and key. I have no idea what to do. I have been reading the chatting tread since BB1 and sure don't want to miss anything!

Deeva: When I use mIRC, I use the following:
IRC Server: backpack.webmaster.com
Port(s): 7000

As Ren mentioned, the room name is #tvclubchat. You can type /join #tvclubchat to log into that room once you have connected to the network.

You can download mIRC here:

First one is giving me an error about not being able to locate the server, as is the third one. Others loaded.

Ok just checked more links...for those who have trouble with chat loading here(I always got a gray window), I posted yesterday that the last option worked for me. I just tried the 2nd to last via ilovereality and WOOHOO that loaded too and with a MUCH better window than the last one IMHO. The picture of the woman in the chat box just did nothing for me lol. And since everything was working, I tried it via TVCH and got gray again. So for anyone with similar probs, thought I'd give you that update--last 2 opened FINE for me! Just have to type /NICK and then my name to not be a guest. I'm psyched about this working, and not just for tomorrow!

Landi hooked me up with Trillion, I love it, I have a direct click to chat. People spoil BB on Thursday night when the show is on in the east so, be prepared for that.
