Anyone who wants to participate in the #fuckcombustion channel can join with this link:
http://www.fuckcombustion.com/chat/
Once
vtac recovers from the all-nighter he pulled converting the forum, I'm sure he'll add the link in a prominent place. I still see people joining all the time using one of the web widgets, so some of them must have retained the link somewhere.
I strongly recommend that anyone who wants to participate in #fuckcombustion should ignore the web widgets and get a decent IRC client.
Mirc seems to be the popular choice for Windows, and my Mac friends tend to lean towards
Ircle. I prefer
Irssi on a Unix shell, but that's probably too geeky for most. (There is a Windows version of Irssi if you're so inclined.) If you're an Opera user like me, you can use Opera's built-in client, which is quite nice in my opinion. Firefox users can get
Chatzilla, which is a nice IRC plugin. All of these are much better than the web widgets, which tend to be unreliable.
