Is the Chat Room down?

Same here

Same thing here, it just happened a few minutes ago. It was working fine.

Worse case we open the IRC Chat but the WebTV folks wont be able to get in.

I just changed over to the IRC chat. User can get to it by clicking on the link in the header or by clicking This ---> http://www.dbstalk.com/chat.php

This chat requires Java, or you can use your own IRC program if you wish.

The IRC server is irc.foreverchat.net port 6667 Channel Name #dbstalk

I will continue working on the other server to see if I can get it to come back up. Sorry for the inconvience.

There are a large number of people who cannot access the HTML chat (myself included) because it is way beyond impossible to use with our connections/browsers (I THINK it's the connection). The IRC is more accessable. If you really want an HTML option, work on making/finding an HTML IRC client (which I think DOES exist)
