Hey all,
I wanted to take the sages advise to make a thread here. it has come to my attention, after several months of participating here, that there is indeed a chat room. go here www.psionics.net
The instructions are simple go to the website
1. click on chat
2. type in your candlekeep username
3. click on the enter "once"
4. then go to channel
5. then scroll down and click on candlekeep. See not so hard 
This is something that seems cool to me and would be great to have greater participation in. I would advise reading through the code of conduct there, as it differs slightly from this site. I understand that it is not affiliated, but that Alaundo and several other sages of this great place have worked to get this going for our use.
anyway, enough rambling, check it out 
Mod edit: I'm making this scroll a "sticky" for now... so it gets regular attention.

Err that is /join #Candlekeep
actual chanel the two of us are at right now is #candlekeep not sure if capitals still matter in IRC, I take that back. I just got disconnected and am trying to reconnect now. |

Me and Kentinal were thinking. The sticky should be edited so that people know to create the channel if it doesn't exist already when they get there. All you have to do is /join "Candlekeep" and the channel will be created if it does not exist already. |

It appears there now. |

That would be nice. Maybe I am just overlooking it somehow. I tend to do that with the most obvious of things. |

Well met
Sorry, Mazrim_Taim. I'm able to help he on this as it wasn't set up by Candlekeep. I believe Arivia initiated the channel, mayhaps she can help? |

I would like to chat with the others as well, but part of the reason I don't get IRC, is that is just one more thing on my already not happy computer. I have too many IM programs, forums, etc. already that I use, that I really wouldn't have the time to actually chat.  |

without a doubt. I work for a state government and it would be cause for termination of employment to do so. The great thing about this site though, is that it has members from all over the world. someone would basically be hanging around 24/7 |

this has been frustrating to me. I would love to have chat access. However, does not appear to pick up to much strength. People talk about it, it starts up, then fizzles out. I was visiting said site and always found Ariva around, but hardly anyone else. If we could get more scribes to participate, i think that this would/ could be a great avenue for all of us realms fans. |

The chanel exists whenever anyone wishes it to exist. The posts to it expire in a very short time so a visit to it can result in seeing no activity at all. I am not sure of what current hang time in, but ages ago (when a rodent powered my internet connection) hang time was as low as 2 minutes, a good connection host you could get 15 minutes.
It is IRC (Instant Chat Relay) it is not ICQ, AIM, Yahoo or MSN messages that pales and exceeds what IRC was and is. |

I actually am not very Chat Room saavy (as mentioned before) and I can't seem to figure out how to put myself "away", that way I can stay logged in as well.
Type in "/away" without the quotation marks, obviously.
EDIT: There are actually 2 of us in there right now! |

Well,
See... it's also a time zone issue.
So, I guess I'm asking is when people are usually on and what those times equal in the other time zones. :)
Oh, btw, I'm here most of the day and until 3AM eastern, usually. Except usually from midnight till I fall asleep is my reading time. |

Nah, I'm okay. It's just another tab in my IRC client; there's plenty of discussion in the other tabs to keep me going. 
As have I, though I should really make more of an effort for the Candlekeep section .

I don't think that is my particular issue, however, any assistance is apprieciated. Any other ideas?? were you able to log on?? let us know |

not sure why, but this chatroom is no longer available through the site. Any help from my fellow scribes and sages??, or is this a mute point |

For more IRC-proficient scribes:
#candlekeep, on irc.psionics.net, port 6667[IRC default].
Read the /motd, so forth and so on, blah blah blah.  |
