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.

I'm just bumping this topic - for anyone who is interested, there's always people in the chat. Sometime you may need to wait a few minutes to get a response, but we're always ready to chat it up.

The chat is usually busiest between 7:00 to 9:00 AM EST, as well as in the evenings. Throughout the day, there are usually several of us around, but we may take a bit to notice someone is in the room.

If that's your preference, that's fine. But if you're not contributing to the chat, after a while you will probably be booted out. I don't know if there are any rules set, but I found that to be the case since I started using the chat room in 2003. If I'm gonna be idle for a little bit to get something to eat or take care of something, I'll put "bbiab" or something similar to let other chat participants know. But if it get's to be over a half hour or more without activity, I'd expect myself to get booted then. The purpose of the chat room is to chat, not to sit idle all day. Just my 2 cents worth.

Make sure you have latest version of Java and when it asks you, you have to allow it and then say no on the next window.

Well first off you have to make sure your Java is the most recent version, so update that then try again.  When the little box pops up you have to say no.

 Does some one know where I go to or ask, regarding my status of my membership, Eg. - How much longer am I signed up for? (before I expire)
When should I renew my membership Etc?

Wishing everyone a excellent New Year and a safe on to boot.

Here is when your militia membership expires: December 31, 2015, 10:23:00 PM

You can find that by clicking on "Profile" under the sponsor banners at the top of the page, then click on "Paid Subscriptions" on the left side of your profile page.
I don't think it matters when you renew your membership as I think it adds time from the end of your expiration date and not the date you renew. I'll check with "Scott" to make sure that is the case.
Yep, that info is correct.

Yep, Missoula, not much traffic there. Last year they tried pumpin' it up with some giveaways. I have some visions for it but for me it will be after Christmas.

My interest is pike and I'd host some discussion on bait rigs and active jigging. Just my thoughts... I make a bunch of "stuff" so when I get there I'll probably have my own version of a "giveaway".  ;)2
