How does IRC work?

I haven't used the live chat on the network for years, so I don't remember if there is some trick to get it to work or if things have even changed since the last time I used it.

I click on the "Live Chat" button

It goes to another screen (www.subaru-svx.net/irc/) where you can type in your nickname for the chat room and which room to enter. I leave it on the default rooom "#svx" and don't change anything other than my nickname

The only button on this page is "Push to start", which I do...

After a short pause, a new window opens up that looks like a chat window. It says:

Connecting to irc.subaru-svx.net:6667
Waiting for server to respond...

Connection closed.


That's it! No one listed in the lefthand "audience" column either.

I have this same situation occur on 3 different computers, including a couple at home.

Re: How does IRC work?

Well, IRC is just a server with several different channels (chatrooms) on it. Apparently the subaru-svx.net website has an IRC server on it (but I don't recall it being this way) and you just join the svx channel.

::EDIT:: I just hopped into mIRC and can't hook into the subaru-svx.net irc server. Perhaps it's down?

You'd think, of all people, MacGyver would be able to figure it out...

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
