Thats because people dont give the channel!!!
Please someone!!! Arggg
MDL, if you go
here you'll find the rules and regs for #loisclark, plus the signup form. Then all you need do is wait to be sent the password.
If you need help setting up mirc or getting into the channel, mail me.
EDIT: I see now that you'd already posted a request for irc help in the How To folder. Not many people visit that particular folder on a regular basis, so this kind of request is easily missed in there. Anyone wanting help with this kind of thing is probably better posting their query in Off Topic.
