 Chat broken?
Not that I have anything earth-shaking to say, but I tried to log onto
the chat and the system replied that "the connection was refused when
attempting to contact irc2.penguinpowered.ca/"

It has always worked fine before; I just use the little client right in
the browser.

Then yesterday it returned that error, and I tried it a couple of times
an hour or two apart with the same result.

Then just now, the same.

Is it broken or something?

Try using a real IRC client. The server is fine.

"The connection was refused when attempting to contact
www.penguinpowered.ca."

Here I was all ready to chat, too...

Yeah, the links seem to be "broken".

If anyone wants to chat, Chatzilla works, as well as regular IRC
clients like Mirc.

The server is just fine.
