I was checking out the chat room the other day and there were people there from south Africa talking about school. I asked a couple questions and they never even heard of Iceshanty. What's up with that?

[billditrite]

wrong room   

[Iceshanty]

Chat server was down and the chat program wasn't joining the iceshanty room. All fixed now.

I give up

[Trigger]

It is a terrible chat setup there are plenty of easier chat servers out there that could be used.

[Iceshanty]

IRC servers are all the same. If you don't like the chat applet use one of the many IRC programs out there.

when you try to log in it has a security applet, you need to answer yes to that
 and you must have a current version of Java loaded

I am a nubee anybody wanna chat

[Brok]

The chat room seems to be down the past few days. Although I enjoy reading through all the really great information along with astounding pics presented here at this magnificant site about ice fishing in general, generally I like to chat real-time about the hot spots and all that.

Sure wish the IRC for here was running properly and/or members were flying over there again... 

What gives, dammit? Just kidding. Take it easy.
