Since chat isn't available here yet I went ahead and set up an IRC channel for us to talk on.

The server is network.mystical.net and the channel is #lostkjs.

If anyone has a problem with this, just let me know!

I know there are some web-based IRC clients but usually you connect to IRC with a stand-alone client like mIRC ( http://www.mirc.com )or Pirch ( http://www.pirchat.com ). So FreedomKJ's pointer to the server wouldn't be a link to follow, rather it would be entered into the IRC client as a server to hit and find the channel on.

For those who aren't familiar w/ IRC, it's older than the web. It's kinda like the Ham Radio of the 'net in that it's an older technology that is still adhered to by loyal fans and geeks. A very cool and underappreciated technology for sure.

Hope this helps.

Is this site gonna have chat eventually?

Seth explained it pretty well. mIRC is probably the easiest to use for those not familiar with IRC.

It's fun to play with and I've spent a lot of time on linux based channels gettting help with miscellaneous issues.

I was an IRC freak for a long time. Writing custom bots, gabbing w/ folks from all over the planet. When the Web first came together I used to use IRC as an example of how cool the 'net could be and that a bunch of text files linked together sounded like a big HyperCard application that would never catch on. Wow, I hope I'm never that wrong about anything again!! :oops:

I like pie.....now HTH do you get from here to there!??! :roll:

pie is delicious...moreso with a good cup of coffee

go to one of the links I included in my previous post. download the client. they all work the same. you'll have a place in the client app to enter a server address and once the server is connected to you'll get a list of "channels". look for #lostkjs. from there it's just like using Yahoo! or MSN messenger clients.
