High Traffic Alternative to the Chatters Thread

As Ryn mentioned in his Important Announcement note, we are expecting an increase in traffic after the Thursday show if CBS airs the segment on TVCH as planned.

We are taking steps to handle this but it is possible that the board may be loaded with new people who are checking things out as a result of this publicity.

If this does happen, we suggest that a temporary alternative for the Chatters Thread would be using the TVCH Chat Room. That way, even with all the potential new activity, we can be sure to stay in touch and chat about the show and live feeds.

The Chat Room is moderated (when possible) and the same rules apply as on the board.

For those who are familiar with chat, the Chat Room can be accessed directly through programs like mIRC.

mIRC Information:

mIRC Program

mIRC Instructions

IRC Server: irc.webchat.org
Port(s): 6667
Channel: #tvclubchat

Please be careful. The channel is #tvclubchat. Do not be confused by immitations

It can also be accessed with your Web Browser through Java programs at the following links:

http://www.tvclubhouse.com/chat/
(Loads entirely from the TVCH server)

http://www.tvclubhouse.com/chatclub.php
(Loads the script from our server but the actual client from the Webmaster server)

http://tvclubhouse.ilovereality.com/chat/
(Loads entirely from the ilovereality server)

http://backpack.webmaster.com/chat.htm?@channel=%23tvclubchat
(Loads entirely from the webmaster server)

We would prefer you to start with the top link and work down. The bottom two links should load regardless of high traffic on the board.

Before loading the java, your browser may ask you to agree to loading it. That is fine. You must agree in order to access the chat using this method.

Please note that it may take a long time to load (at least a couple of minutes). Please be patient and do not close it before it loads as that may create problems accessing it in the future.

Very Important: Please add the links to your favorites so that you can access them without going through the board.

Why not try this out before Thursday and see how it works for you! There is always someone there and eager to chat in the evening during the live shows.

Llkoolaid - Trillian's nice isn't it! I'm also using it to get into the chat. Just tried it out to make sure it works. Still in there if anybody else wants to test it out.

This should be fun! Has everyone tried the chat out (just in case) and saved the links as favorites to go to it.

Hi all! Just wanted to join to tell everyone thanks for so many years of enjoyment. The moderators, live feed posters, and members. I have been with you mentally since BB3 but felt no need to post because I get great pleasure from just reading. Had to jump in now so I wouldn't look like I was trying to ride the fame bandwagon that TVClubhouse is about to take a trip on.
Congrats and many thanks!

Uhmmmm, when we were "Gone" just now, none of the linkies I saved work at all!

Are the emergency links just for heavy traffic but not for this kind of problem?

TIA!

I got into the chat room, but can't figure out how to actually "say" something. I can type it into the space, but can't figure out how to enter it into the room chat. Help please!!

No they should have worked (the last two links should have anyway). Even our off-board sites are experiencing high traffic so you might want to consider downloading mIRC as a rock solid alternative for chatting.

Jan, I do. Your link even shows up BLUE on my screen.
I just went in to chatrm through Ryn's site and now I wasn't even recognized. Now I use the previous link I liked to go in, and it kept throwing me out already...

It was nice chatting with you Mame! You'll have to come in more often now that you can.
