New Chat Channel! Options

[Troika]

Alexander, being the incredibly nice chap that he is, has set us up with a Java chat channel, so that we can now talk to each other in real time! Oh, the leaps forward this project is taking!

You can find it here.

And make sure that you all thank Alexander, who came up with the idea in the first place, and took time out to construct this for us.


edit:
in case the link doesn't work, try installing java manually and then trying again, you can find that download here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

that might do the trick for you


and for the last bit of this post.
rules:
the same rules that are here on the forums, applie for the chat, meaning no trolling, no talking about illegal activities and such.

spamming of course isn't an issue there.

The channel, network and the java IRC client applet should be working at all times. Sounds like it's a problem with the java app.

Please ensure that you have java installed properly (the link for installing manually can be found on the top in the edit) and that you accept loading the applet by choosing 'yes' when asked. Keep in mind that some school or corporate networks are tight on security and won't allow the use of such java applets to be used, or even loaded.

It may take a little time for the applet to load and launch, of course, so don't be too hasty in branding it malfunctioning.

Otherwise, you may, of course, use a normal IRC client, such as mIRC, to connect to the chat.
The IRC server the channel is at is irc.chatspike.net. Once you've connected, you may join the Tes F'Ruum chat by typing /join #tes_fruum

Any luck or anything more to add?
