It’s on IRC. Hook up to an UnderNet server and join channel #straightdope. Or go [here](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/chat.adp) ---

I can never get in. It always hangs at the connecting prompt. ---

Mine kept hanging also, until I downloaded mIRC and used that instead. ---

Although, as Dippymonger found out tonight, making a nuisance of yourself in chat is not a good idea. ---

Okay, so since I typed my last message, you’ve entered with two alter-egos. I’m tolerating their presence for now because you’re not being a prick. Listen, deopping people and putting multiple instances of yourself in a chatroom is disruptive and antisocial. If you want to hang out and chat, fine. Behave like a human being and respect others. ---

Well actually Max I just made the whole thing up, I have no idea who those 2 guys are and I was just proving a point that you have absolutely no idea who is in there. Better luck next time Maxxy. ---

Well, for anyone serious about chatting in the SDMB room on Undernet, and having trouble using the applet on Opal’s site, you can also access Under direct through their own site. [http://webchat.md.us.undernet.org:8000/unet1](http://webchat.md.us.undernet.org:8000/unet1) _Disclaimer_: the channel in question is not an offical branch of the SDMB nor is it endorsed by the SDMB, The Reader, its staff nor anyone else in any way. Like 99.99% of IRC channels, it’s somply a collection of fans sitting and chatting away their existence when they should be doing more important things. ---

What Jophiel said. Manhattan, would I be outside the bounds of proper behavior by asking you to close this thread? Any legitimate question here has been answered, and the rest is just a bunch of stupid trolling. ---

…while I bump this to the top for a moderator to see. UnlceBeer might want to look at this, seeing how D.M. made another ass of himself in MPSIMS today. And I’ll promise to frequent #straightdope more often. It looks like you guys could use the help 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > > Manhattan, would I be outside the bounds of proper behavior by asking you to close this thread? > \*\* Out of bounds? Heck, I’d say that at 3:56 in the morning (my time) you already came up with the best idea anybody’s going to have all day. Sheesh! And to think I sent a “thank you” email to this guy after he had a good thread.
