Hmm. I just tried Z's link, and all I got was a forever spinning "Java" logo.

I had an answer here of the alternive way of entering the chat through http://www.mibbit.oom/ but Mibbit changed there layout. So here is the revised way to enter the chat through Mibbit:

New rules of the road in the chatroom
- there will be fewer ops now, so that there's better control over the room
- we're looking into a new host and pjirc access (this site used to connect to #sps through pjirc)

Hi folks.

Just to introduce myself, I am Mark, and I currently manager the original #sps IRC room and one of the admins of the IRC network, the room resides on.

The IRC room (Which is open 24 / 7), was about before the days of the studio site, was supported for quite some time by the studios site, before suddenly dropped for whatever reason (Not had any real contact from the studios management as to why as of yet), but still operating now to this day.

Current op's for the room, are myself (Stanmarsh14 / sm14|lappy / pervert), Big Will (You all should know who he is, from the BBS), DC182, OY, mbuna (Network owner of Aquaria, and my boss), and Niels, all of whom have been very long term users of the room.

I am going through a few issues with the room right now (Mostly to do with OP's, and Java client issues), but I am working my way through the problems.

Currently, the best way to find the chat room, server settings (If you want to use something like mIRC), rules of the room (There is a general guide, but ask an op if unsure), and help with the Java client (Direct Link: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stan_marsh14/1/IRC_Java_Chat_Help.html), is from http://www.westpark.tk, and just follow the links provided (Java client and server info, can be found via TV Related, at the top of the page).

Any problems, all the relevant help and contact info, can be found on the front page of the site.

Of course, Mibbit is an easy way to join the chat; mibbit has changed their layout from what I posted on the previous page, so here it is as of 11-21-2001:

On this page, click on server: (And again, right-ciick):



See you in Chat

So that power can be better concentrated into one person?

I'm sorry. I can't deal with IRC anymore. I'll stick with Facebook.

Of course. I'm the only admin on the room's page on FB, and this site's only active mod, whereas the room has ... nine ops right now.

IRC is for the strong, bwahahaha. But then I don't spend all day there either.

As from now, the room has had some major changes and updates, one of which, is a change of IRC network it uses.

Full details are contained in the link below, which fully details what has changed and what is new, and a special note for the new AJAX based IRC client, which makes it even easier to use the room (click the link, add your chosen nick, connect..... that is it).

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mbuna from the Aquaria IRC network, for his help and support over the years, and hope he will continue to visit us at our new home

Ah, well, good luck with that.

On the other hand, there could be... more than one...

Read the OP's link for instructions on the java link and how to set up an IRC clients However, to make it easy, check out my sig below

Good news! #sps on Aquaria is back! You don't need to follow any new link anymore, thankfully, the old place is back.
Almost 2years I've known this place... it was like a 2nd home for me.

The original IRC chat #sps is running well on the Chatabout IRC Network, and almost ALL the room reg's have joined the new network, so if you want a visit, just follow the link in my sig

There seems to be some confusion as to why there are two rooms called #sps on two different IRC servers. The answer is simple if you look at the history provided by Stanmarsh14 in his sig link:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stan_marsh14/1/SPS.html

In short, the original IRC chat for SPS was on Dal.Net; it was then moved to Aquaria. Now this same room has moved to Chatabout.

However, #sps still exists on Aquaria. Not counting posters in other rooms on Aquaria, by my count only three posters at this time haven't made the move to #sps on chatabout. I won't name names; that's irrelevant. And there may be a few who don't know about chatabout yet as they only post on IRC during the run of new South Park episodes.

There are three ways to enter the original #sps chat room. If you have an IRC client, use irc.chatabout.net and use port 6667 and room #sps.

If you don't have or don't want to use an IRC client, you can do it directly on one of two URL links.

The first link is if you already have Java installed on your computer. If so, this is the URL: http://chatabout.net:9090/?channels=sps&uio=d4

When prompted for a nick (nickname/username), enter what ever you like, hit "enter" and you are there.

If you don't have Java installed, you go to this link:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stan_marsh ... t/sps.html

A pop-up will appear asking if you will allow Java to be installed on your computer. Click on "Allow." Don't worry, this software will be removed when you log out of chat.

So, wherever you go, whether the new incarnation of the original #sps chat now on Chatabout, or the former #sps room on Aquaria, have fun and see you there

A quick summary

for the new home of #sps
irc://irc.chatabout.net/sps
http://chatabout.net:9090/?channels=sps

for the old home, which has the younger generation
irc://irc.aquaria.org/sps
No Java client available on aquaria

You can be in both rooms too.
