Well, a bunch of people were in the Straight Dope chatroom tonight- I had a blast until Aura came in and I got booted and couldn’t get back in 
Anyway, I had fun while it lasted. Did anyone else have any trouble? When I got booted it said the servers were too busy to let me in.
Hope to see people there again!

I tried to get on, but got booted.
I tried under each server listed- no luck. Any other advice? I was pretty disappointed…It was fun,though!
Woohoo!!! people are using the chat room!

I’ll be there, Zette…might be late, since I have a doctor’s appointment, but I’ll be there!
Cessandra has a chat scheduled for 8 (central, I think) tonight.
Zette and I are there now in anticipation.
Actually, I just wanted to bring this back up to the top

I’m in the room with you!
I can’t get any text to appear…I can’t read what anybody else is typing, and I tried sending a private test message to you and Zette. lol
Y’all wanna try Yahoo? 
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Seale, I received your message. Have you tried using mIRC for IRC? It’s a great program and lets you do all kinds of fun stuff.

I’m using mIRC…just downloaded it. Now I can’t find the freakin’ room If I try to find it through mIRC then I can’t find the room.
If I join through the TM homepage, then I can’t type text.

Use mIRC!!!
I’m having the same problem as Saelemon. AuraSeer is very patiently trying to help me solve it, but we’re not having any luck
Sealemon -
To join the room, type in “/join #StraightDope” and it should connect. If not, try changing the case of the words.
And FYI for people…a good IRC help page is at http://www.irchelp.org/
