Well, it's official - I've tried to get onto IRC for nearly two weeks now, and it's just not letting me on. At someone's suggestion I even re-installed IRC, and that didn't work either. Apparently there is a problem with the ISP - our IP numbers have been tagged as a problem after some jerk decided to hack the system. So, does anyone know if there is any way I can join our channels via the internet? A Java site or something? I'm on a totally unrelated mailing list who has chats on IRC, but you can also access via a Java site or something like that. I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!

Not sure how you would access irc through a java site but if you're looking for one to use as a conduit, there's one at the Archive\'s Fanfic Live section. Hope this gets you a little further forward. LabRat

Oh thank you, sweet, sweet Ratty! I'd forgotten how long it takes these sorts of Java connections to go through, but oh, it is *so* much better than sitting forever and getting all those rejection messages. Those make you feel like ten different kinds of dirt! This site takes me to a different channel than I usually go on when I go to IRC, but I can then change channels once I'm in... Now, where is everyone??? 8pm in Korea, would be what, 1pm in Britain, 4am on the North American Pacific Coast... Oh... Well, now I know how to do it, and... <dum-da-dum-dum> :::whispers::: ***I'll be back!*** Melisma (grinning from ear to ear here under her Rock, sending LabRat a *big* cyberhug)

Well dang it, now I can't find my signup confirmation email for #loisclark, and I can't remember the password. Can anyone tell me how I can go about requesting them to resend it to me? (DON'T post the password here, or we'll both get in trouble!) Melisma (still grumbling under her Rock, but not as badly as before...)

there's also the undernet's webchat interface (in case you have problems with the archive's interface for some reason), which you can find here. that will let you pick the undernet server you want to log into. it'll also dump you into one of the preset channels (your choice), but a /join command will get you where you actually want to go. it'll even pop up seperate browser windows for private /msg conversations.

When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Good suggestion, Paul - but I still got the nasty messages from that site. I'll keep trying from the archive site Labby gave me - really I didn't get on last night, but that was not because of the site, it was 'cause I was too tired Melisma (sending cyberhugs out from under her Rock)

Actually, I think the fanficlive's irc points to another server entirely. You might want to try going to http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php to get on to UnderNet and log into either channel. It only supports 1 channel at a time, though. There's a link on that page to a blueyonder site which has an Undernet irc java client that supports multiple channels, but most of the time it wouldn't come up, or it would time out for me.

The undernet.org site doesn't work for me - same problems as with my mIRC program. I guess I'm just going to have to wait for six months until I'm back home in Canada until I can chat with you all again. Unless I can get up my courage to yell at the ISP here for them to come up with a solution...
