Well, I just tried to connect and couldn’t get in - all the undernet servers were busy. I hooked up the other day but left right away (I was just testing to see if I’d set things up right.) So who hangs out in chat, anyway? And what sort of sick things go on there? The sicker and more perverse things are, the more likely I’ll be to spend time there. 😃 ---

Sick things? why does Felching come to mind? 😃 anyhow, I didn’t even know that we had a SD chat on the undernet… learn something every day ---

Well, I _know_ the Elite Clique hangs out there. But I’m thinkin’ maybe they wouldn’t notice me because I am so shy and reserved. ---

Hey porcupine. I was actually there when you came in. > [@](#): > > porQpine ([porcupine6@rm05-24-167-187-65.ce.mediaone.net](mailto:porcupine6@rm05-24-167-187-65.ce.mediaone.net)) was last seen parting #StraightDope 3 days, 7 hours, 11 minutes ago. 😉 Mostly just chatting about general subjects. General meaning sex, drugs and rock 'n roll of course… I’ve never seen _all_ the Undernet servers being busy, and there are plenty of people coming and going as I write this. Normally, the client should keep trying to connect until it logs on. Sometimes you have to wait a few seconds for someone to drop off the server. Give it another shot. If you have problems, message me. ---

You can get to chat on any Undernet server at #straightdope or use the applet [here](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/chat.adp). By the way, it’s spelled 31337 clique… 😃 ---

I have been known to poke my face in occasionally. I haven’t been on very much lately; somehow I’ve been busy as heck. Sucks. Miss chatting, dernit. ---

I’ve been in once or twice. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with what’s going on. It’s like being at a really loud party where everyone is screaming their conversations all at once. I don’t go too often, because I like to pop in, see what’s going on, maybe shoot the poop a little bit and head out. But I feel like a hit and run artist when I do, so I pace myself. I bet it’s hoppin’ right now. ---
