@WackyRabbit:
Is anyone else having a problem connecting to the Chat Room? Is it working?
I used to use the chat room, but someone wanted me gone and attacked every comment I made.
I have not used IRC in a long time, but that method of entering the chat room allowed one to log in "outside" of the website login.
It seems the IRC method may have been disabled.
The forums are a better place for asking and getting information.
The chat room turns into a flaming room - which is just a waste of everyone's time.
There is only 1 person who is a problem, and he "lives" in the chat room, so I suggest ignoring the chat room and use the forums instead.
As anybody familiar with IRC knows - live chat rooms typically have one "master" who has the mentality of a 6 year old, who fantasizes about being the god of the chatroom. A classic example of that is the tech support moron on the utorrent.com website. Just for fun, go to the utorrent.com website and check out their forums, and do a search on "DreadWingKnight". You will find that he consistently dodges questions, insults the people asking the questions, posts and attack and then locks the thread so that nobody can respond.
The most outrageous example of this is the "bencoding error" which is extremely rare. It occurs in less than 1% of torrents. I found what causes that error, I know how to manually fix it with a special bencode editor. Utorrent is the ONLY torrent client that has the problem with these troublesome bencoding errors. When I get a bencoding error on a torrent, I am forced to use another client such as VUZE or Transmission - QT for Windows. For some reason, Harold aka Dreadwingknight, does not want anybody talking about that error. Instead of saying "Thank you", Harold prefers to reply with a "Fuck You!" and locks the thread.
