New Chat Functionality

[Clarity]

Just added a new feature, you'll find it linked from the top navbar.

It is a java applet. For anyone uncomortable with that, you can still use the old IRC tool at;

http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/irc/irc.cgi <-- This is the old one, see the navbar above for the new one.

I would prefer most make use of the new one though, it has a lighter impact on the server, and it's fully integrated with the forum.

--edit--
Yes, I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of that awful blue.

If anyone has the ability and willingness to run an eggdrop bot in the #buckeyeplanet channel, please contact me.

For any mIRC users who would rather chat with their own client (faster, easier, better in many ways), we are here;

irc.blitzed.org - port 6667 - #buckeyeplanet

There's now an eggdrop bot in the channel, he should be there 24/7 as the channel operator. Mods from the board will be able to get him to op them in the channel as well.

What he (Coach) allows though, is now visible at the bottom of the main forum page, right under "Who's Online". You can see who is in there chatting, and there's even a little meter over to the right that shows how active the chatter in there is.
