Boosting the Signal - White Collar Writers' Union Chat Changes

We have been having some troubles with the wcwu chatroom. While the embedded client is easy to use, it's not very friendly when it doesn't work. We've been having awful lag times (90 seconds between chat lines entered and then appearing), terrible trouble logging in, and the inevitable issue with people getting dumped off the chat for no reason.

Last night, enough was deemed ENOUGH, and the tech-savvy angelita26 created an IRC channel for us. We had a blast. Not only was the chat stable (which says nothing about the participants misusing some trout and some bizarre third person singular conversations), for those of us with older eyes, it was a lot easier to simply read.

ivorysilk, who created the original chatroom on the Writer's Union, has agreed to switch over to this new, IRC-based chatroom. The scheduled Friday night chat (10pm EST) will take place there. I'm sure some of us will also be in there tonight too.

Give it a try here. Just type in a nickname, click Start, and you'll be connected.

If you have an IRC chat program, please feel free to join us from that using the irc.kiwiirc.com server and the chatroom #wcwu. It works with the Mac client, Colloquy and the PC client MIRC, as well as Chatzilla.

You know you want to join the conversation, if in the hope that these guys will be there, too.
