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

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.

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?

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.

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!!!

Go here and sign on.

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.

I'm glad you could all clear up this very mircy problem and find your way into chat. Congrats!

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!neko

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. :)

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.

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.

You should be able to get in through using Pirch....it is another chatting client for irc.

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!

I was just in chat a moment ago. I had no problems getting there at all, but I'm on webtv.

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.
