Spygirl | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 06:49 pm     Just a heads up that there seems to be some sort of problem with IRC and/or the server that we connect through to get to tvclubchat. Just thought I'd drop a note here so that no one thinks it is a problem with their own connection. It started about 15 minutes ago and still isn't working yet. No board on Saturday morning and no chat on Saturday night...whatever will we do? LOL |
Zed | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 07:07 pm     Thanks Spy...as usual..thought it was just me.... |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 07:11 pm     It got me too. |
Spygirl | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 07:11 pm     You were the main inspiration for my post, Zed  |
Buttercup | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 07:13 pm     Spy, I suppose we could write our papers now?? But I really don't want to!!! Queen, I tried sending you an email, but I'm not sure I remembered the address correctly!

Actually, I needed to pour my heart out...my middle kid has been visiting Cornell since last Thursday and I'm missing him terribly!! He'll be back home tomorrow evening and I can't wait!! Thanks for listening...I feel SO MUCH better.

Sage | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 08:39 pm     Well, I was wondering where everyone was. I'm sitting there now, all alone. Can't anyone else get in? Or is this like it was that one night and our rooms were split? |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 08:41 pm     I still can't get even close. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:00 pm     for those with mirc, try changing your channels from chat.planetz.net to one of these: glass.ca.us.webchat.org webmaster.ca.us.webchat.org linkline.ca.us.webchat.org sauron.ca.us.webchat.org katana.ca.us.webchat.org arena.ca.us.webchat.org nexus.ca.us.webchat.org Leave your other settings the same. Good luck. |
Buttercup | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:07 pm     Ty, Jujuohsosmartdawg! Buttercup races out to find the remote control and change the channel |
Buttercup | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:10 pm     It worked!!!!!!!!! Juju, this is for you!

Juju2bigdog | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:13 pm     Hahahahahahaaaa!!!!!!!! <does a triple flip>

Sage | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:16 pm     Chatz.planet.net appears to be down. That is why the java people cannot get on. You need to sign on with a different server, but I don't know of any sites with java that you can sign onto using one of the servers that Juju posted above. I'm going to search. Lance, Tess, those of you who java, I'm sad you can't get on. I'm going to work on trying to find an aternative site that you can sign on. Found one, Thanks to Myjohnhenry!!! http://realitylowdown.com/chat.htm Go here and sign on. |
Spygirl | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:31 pm     Great job everyone!!! Looks like we can salvage the remainder of Saturday night! hehehe... |
Myjohnhenry | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:38 pm     I have had my mirc set up a long time to connect to a random server on webnet (webchat.org) and that seems to work the best for me. Always had too much trouble with the other. |
Weinermr | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 09:42 pm     I'm glad you could all clear up this very mircy problem and find your way into chat. Congrats! |
Neko | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 08:20 am     I was able to get in earlier last night but didn't stay cause no one was in there. Why do you guys go in so late?!?! Is anyone going in tonight? I can stay late cause I don't have school tommorrow! Yeah! |
Myjohnhenry | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 09:53 am     It was about 630 board time Neko that people started having trouble with the one particular server. I would say that going in that time and after is most likely because people have other things going on earlier (spouses, kids, sports, work, dates...you name it)...especially the farther west you get. You can bank on there being people in chat tonight....there is everynight...the question is always when and how many. |
Sia | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 11:18 am     Hey, all, this could be under the "Dumb Questions" thread, but I will post it here as it applies to chat: I can't get Java to run at all on my p.c. and unsuccessfully re-downloaded the program from the 'net a while back. I do have Pirch, however. Is there a way to join the clubchat using Pirch or some other program? Thanks for any information you can provide. |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 11:24 am     Sia, did you just have a brain fart and say Java when you meant mirc? You get to chat in java by using the Club Chat link at the top of this page. Use #tvclubchat rather than the other one. Mirc is a chatting program you download at www.mirc.com. |
Myjohnhenry | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 11:30 am     You should be able to get in through using Pirch....it is another chatting client for irc. |
Myjohnhenry | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 11:38 am     http://unknown.pirchworld.com/pirch/setup.html Once you have Pirch set up to access IRC then as juju said you will want to join the room #tvclubchat Holler here in this thread if you want anyone to meet you in the chatroom to see if you make it or to celebrate that you have...I would bet there are those of us who are checking the board periodically throughout the day who will be happy to help and to celebrate! |
Webkitty | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 11:54 am     I was just in chat a moment ago. I had no problems getting there at all, but I'm on webtv. |
Sia | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 01:39 pm     Hi, folks. What I was (inadequately) trying to explain is that when I click on the link above, I get a blank square. Nothing works for me that requires Java. I have tried to play games at yahoo.com, etc., and get a message saying "Java applet loading, etc." but then nothing happens. I am not familiar with mirc, although I have heard of it. I wanted to know if I could get to the same room y'all chat in via Pirch, and if so, how to do that. Next dumb question: would I need to re-register in some way? I have only used Pirch to chat at TalkCity and have registered there. |
