Azrael, If you don't wanna be in charge of chat anymore, I don't mind taking over for ya. I've already taken the liberty of setting up a room for us on the same server as before (irc.ircstorm.net). I have already created the applet for it too, it's an html file. If this goes through, and nobody minds the change, to whom should I email the file? In the meantime if you guys wanna chat, I'll provide a link on this post to use until this all gets straightened out. Let me know what's going on. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, if so I'll gladly back-off.
Here's the link:
