There was one a few years back. Is it still in existence?

Thanks

This is more appropriate to ATMB than GQ.

IRC Dope chat is long gone. Some of the old time regulars had a one off “reunion” night a few months ago but that was about it.

When we first started, we were on AOL and we had a nightly chat room – every night. Hosted by folks like TubaDiva, Lynn, and myself (I think we’re the only three still around actively) and a herd of others who became part of the SDSAB. When we got booted off AOL (too 'spensive) we came here and dropped the chat.
