    My resources are already dedicated towards DLP's dedicated, I'm not made of money. The IRC server runs on the same server the DLP forums are hosted on.

    We are fine where we are. We dont have problems often, and when they do pop-up, they never last very long.

    I find it pretty funny myself:

    We had no control over on Scifi-fans.

    We had none on Elias' server.

    We move to our own and suddenly have control and when problems out of our control (common ones on other, bigger servers) arise, people complain and say we need to move, lmao.

    Well, I have never gotten onto the IRC chat, and currently do not have the required programs I need in order to get on. So any suggestions on what I should get in order to get on? (Ex. mIRC) I would prefer it to be free if there is one...

    Check to make sure you're allowing Java and Javascript in your settings.

    Well, I have done the update for Internet Explorer, and since it has been modified from it's original, I am not sure exactly where to go to check if I have Java/Javascript selected. As I am either retarded or blind, I can't seem to find it.

    Anyone having the update know where to go to see if you have it selected?

    Alright, well ignore the above, I have found my way onto IRC talk to yall there.

    Sometimes it doesn't open properly for me since it is written by a non reconised company so I just have to click on the java icon in the bottom right of screan then press allow.

    I use a free program called savIRC--and it works pretty well. Perhaps you could try that.

    I've never been very good at figuring computers out but I've tried doing what this threat suggested.
    My computer just doesn't want to and I don't want to mess it up anymore than it already is. Guess I don't get to chat unless I use school's computer.
    Oh well.

    School computers usually have many restrictions on them preventing you from doing this kind of thing.
    Unless you have an admin password, i dont think you will be able to see it through school servers.

    Sorry if I came out seeming like I was annoyed that you didnt care or something like that. I just wanted to know if anybody else had any problems. Turns out, its just me
