The sorcerers chatroom is really unpopular, well, it can be really good when there are people there, but people don't like to look at the java client in a cumbersome Explorer window for an extended period of time, so get mIRC (http://www.mirc.com) install it and follow the instructions following:

When the options window comes up (automatically) click the "Add" button.

For the name type PlanetZ (or something similar).

For the IRC Server, type this in: chat.planetz.net

then type in the nickname you want to use.

when you do that, click the thunderbolt icon at the top and you will see lots of text scrolling really quickly, ignore this. When the scrolling ends a box will ask you to enter a chat room or "channel" type in "sorcerers" (no quotation marks) and you will join the channel and it won't look godawful like the JAVA client.

I highly reccomend you do this, mIRC is quick to load and a small download, and the benefits of having it outweigh the ones of not having it (it takes up next to no memory).

AND if we can get enough people in the chatroom, I might get some kickback.

Nah, the java client is ok. Just give it time to load and type /float once you're in the channel.
It'll open in a new window and then it's the same as mIRC.

But it never reads my password and says it is always incorrect! So i get a gay name as guest_1997 or something similar!

Sniper, is that in mIRC or the Java clien/crapallet?

Sniper, then you're either entering the wrong password/wrong nick or didn't even register right.
Drop by today at around 10pm (GMT+1) and I'll take you through the process.

sorry can't make it...i'm at a pub!

Can someone email me this program? The MIRC? I can't download it from the pc I'm on...It's blocked!

Thanks in advance!
