This question Stanman. You NEED to use an IRC client such as nettalk ( http://www.ntalk.de/Nettalk/en/) to get into it - It's completely free and is in English as well (several languages for the interface to select from). Do NOT rely on the java chat on the website for entering it. The site is under construction and if you dont use a standard irc client, you may not get in. The needed information to get in is: ip address: 88.198.48.47 (this is Ellesmera's address), port 7000, and of course joining the channel: #Gabyzone.

The following is clipped from a previous entry I had made earlier this year:

On Nettalk, after install, Create a New IP/Server connection. For now, use the Ip address of the server you select and fill in the rest. create the connection, then connect. Configuring is through the options button.

Please message Piper, Karen, or Saphira for assistance if you cannot set up the program. It is very user friendly and basic - easy to figure out and should require minimum assistance to setup if you have never done it before.
