I've been going on southparkstudios.com for quite a while now, but I just recently made an account, and I've been hearing a lot about the chat. How do you get to it? Was it deleted or something?

It got deleted from the menu for some reason even though the chatroom is still there but you can still go there by clicking on this link.

Alternative: If you have an IRC Client: use the server "irc.aquaria.org" (port 6667) to connect and then join the channel "#sps".

I hope they'll put the chat link back to the menu because I'm missing new people in there lately :(.

It doesn't look like that's going to happen, though. I wish they'd at least give an official explanation of why they removed it, but oh well.

I don't know why but they have bad ideas for this site lately. First they forbid certain countries to enter the site, then they remove the chat. What comes next? Will they remove the forum and the episode player?

When you re-change the menu again in the future, please don't forget to add the chat, would be very nice.

Let's not give up on the chatroom this easily!

A link for it could totally fit under "Guide" if the layout is the real issue..

The entire community would deeply appreciate it if the java chat was re-added ANYWHERE on the website, because god knows how many people use and need it...

I'm an IRC operator on the chatroom and I really miss the flow of spsusers , helping them understand or fix their issues watching episodes.

Nall and the rest of the developers, please take this into consideration. It would be very simple to add the link to the java chat elsewhere , and it would fit!

Keep us posted, we don't want to see this chatroom lost so easily.. especially when it has proven to be a great addition to South Park.

Thanks!

Right, I am going to TRY and keep a civil tongue here, but after reading that response, it's going to be hard....

I just can not believe that sort of excuse, where the chat room, is just treated like an unwanted child, and just cast to the side, all for the want of one small link.

The room has been operating even before the days of the studios site going live, and has always been a well used place, and a much friendlier place to be, than these very BBS boards, and most of the users who have stopped by, seam to think the very same.

It's also been most helpful, when issues surrounding watching ep's from this site, and they come to the room, as most with support queries, despite the room never officially being a place for such support questions, have been helped and supported to the best of our abilities.

It just like a kick to the teeth to myself, and many other of the ops in that room, like DVDA, Steve, OY, etc, who have worked so hard there, to provide help, and answers to questions from users there.

It's not a lot to ask for some recognition, with just one link is there? Or am I asking too much???

For those still looking for the chat, full details are posted on this link, with BOTH the studios and West Park IRC chatlinks to the room, and connection info for IRC clients, such like mIRC, and IRcircle: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stan_marsh ... Links.html

EDIT: I've missed off the connection info from that link some how, so here it is, and I'll get the link updated in the next 24 hrs....

Server: irc.aquaria.org
Port: 6667
Room: #sps

I agree, I miss the chat very much, and I remember dropping in just about every day talking to some of the regulars many years ago, and it would be awesome if they brought it back.

Here's the thing, though: Even when it was around, there was never a really big number of people in it at any given time. Sure there'd be highs and lows depending on whether or not new episodes were airing. You'd expect the official chat room for a show like South Park to have an assload of chatters. But it didn't. It was never promoted very well, that I can recall. It seems awfully late to fix it, if you ask me. But that doesn't mean it should be completely forgotten, anyway.

yes I'm sure you could fit the link in som where if you really wanted to. Maby not even in the tool bar. What if when you click on fourm theres a link the top to the chat room. People will just become upset with your website if you dont accommodate them.

Weird. I replaced it with another link. It isn't on www.southparkstudios.com but connects to the chat. Does this one work for you?
