I just went to it, but it is taking me to the Java based chat..  Where is this new chat located at?

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/chat/
So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

Did something just happen to it or was it on my end?

Worked for me. I never bothered with the old one cos I figured nobody bothered with it, either. Plus it's like, we get enough of each other as it is, yeah?  Heheheheh.

Yeah, it's mostly me and cw hanging out trying to keep it populated... with the occasional appearance by a couple others.  We figure if we hang out enough others will join.

I've noticed other forums often have a listing on the main forum page of who is currently in chat... if that's possible it might encourage folks to jump in for a minute or two more often.

Seems sometimes when trying to get into the chatroom the link address is http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/chat/ instead of http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/chat/

Seems to be random (originally thought it was in certain areas of the board, but proved wrong)

The IRC server seems to have been gone for about a week.  FYI.
