Try irc.everywherechat.com Port: 6667

  I just installed the Integrated Chat from the SMF website, so I'm not sure of the specifics.

The direct link via a browser is:
http://irc.everywherechat.com:8000/?room=GolfHos


From their FAQ:

Q: How do I connect using mIRC?
 

A: To connect using mIRC or another IRC client, simply use your client's options to connect to irc.everywherechat.com on port 6667 or 7000. We also have a copy of mIRC available for you that is already configured for EveryWhereChat.com. You can download it here

The problem with this is that if someone in the IRC world already has your nickname, you can't have it too.

Ah, I didn't realize how that worked.  There was an option to automatically append a suffix to your GolfHos username to get around the unique nickname issue.

The default config of the chat used "_abbrv" or something like that, so my IRC name would be "dystopia_abbrv".  Would you prefer if I enable the automatic suffix?  Any ideas for a suffix?  I'm not sure that "dystopia_ho, Salamander_ho, stroh_ho" is the best idea.

Another option might be to find a chat option that avoids IRC and is isolated, but some people might want to use their own IRC client.

Or I could just tweak it to not carryover the GolfHos username automatically and make people login manually.

It's probably a firewall config for us- I can get in the chatroom at work, but not at home.  ??? >:( :-[ :'(
