Multiverse Chat Room

For anyone who's tried, and failed to log into the AfterNet chat room, vanishingtower, I've finally seen that it's at their end:

Hey all,

Looks like our servers are under some kind of attack, so many of you are having trouble getting on AfterNET. We will likely have to just wait this out, as sadly there isn't much anyone can do until the half-wit gets bored.

I haven't yet had any problems logging in, and it seems the problem is basically with the WebChat which I don't use, but I do suspect that another issue is people unfortunate enough to share their ISP with chat room abusers who have been banned, as Afternet states here.

Meanwhile, I'm working on finding a suitable alternate location. I'm sure we can find somewhere in this Multiversal Web...

Please post any chat issues, ideas or questions here.

Even banned, you can connect if you loggin under your pseudo before connecting but vanishing towers unavalaible .....

too bad ......

[Madrigal Rose]

I think I've found the place!!

========== ========== =========== ====

In case anyone is interested, I have set up a chat room (or channel) here:

http://chatnet.org/

the name of the room is:

#vanishingtower

Via the Chat Now (Java) link in the Navigation column:
In the Required field: Just make up a NICK, then put in #vanishingtower for the channel, then hit GO!, and you should be on your way. Java must be enabled for this to work.

Access via IRC application (X-Chat, mIRC, etc.):
servers:
Chicago.IL.US.ChatNet.Org (US)
Milan.IT.EU.ChatNet.Org (IT)
(more servers can be found on the chatnet.org website)
port: 6667
then: /join #vanishingtower

If you connect to a room and it doesn't seem quite right, make sure you've made no spelling errors! I speak from experience here... whatever channel name you type in will be created, even if it's not spelled correctly, and then you'll be in your own little world, literally

Any problems whatsoever, just ask. I can probably even help...

If people so desire, a weekly chat could be set up. People are free to come and go as they please, at any rate. It's just there.

vanishingtower is such a good IRC channel name.

Sounds good. I'm heading out in a few minutes so can't check it out now, but a weekly scheduled chat sounds cool.

[Morgan Kane]

Tried to connect, not sure of success ?

Since it's not a registered channel yet, and there's no bot to keep you company... you won't know till someone else joins.

In a few days hopefully we'll be registered

[Morgan Kane]

Thank you MR .....

Thank you.

I remember a chat once set up ages ago which included some from across the Pond-
Saturday morning seemed to be the time every one could meet from across the time zones... even the Ozzies were there! Can't be too early- we've more than a few PT'ers...
Any ideas?

I have no experience (at all) with chat rooms. This seems a good opportunity to learn. Saturdays are usually good for me.

[Madrigal Rose]

Doc, it's a cinch. It takes a little getting used to at first, especially when there are more than a handful of people chatting at once

[Morgan Kane]

Just on chat net !

Seems fine !

It's official- vanishingtower is registered now.
This means K9 (ChatNet channel bot) is always parked in there... K9 is pretty quiet, except for the occasional growl.

[Morgan Kane]

thanks .... .

[Half Breed]

Success!

Woot! Got on the chat channel but nobody was home.
