2008-05-13 - Introducing the New WebChat!!

I just would like to take this opportunity to announce we have a new WebChat that has been implemented on this website.

Basically it will allow you to connect to AustIRC from anywhere that has Internet access.

Do you have Internet at work? But IRC ports have been blocked? No fear. Just goto http://www.austirc.net/webchat.html (or just click on 'Chat' up the top. Once it loads just insert your nickname. Then Press Connect! Within a few short moments you'll be on IRC! Its that simple :)

I just want to say Thanks to bastion for all his hard work he's put in to do the configuration for it and setting it up so its usable via the web page. Also to James from Mibbit.com who also helped set this up.

If anyone has any issues, please use the 'Contact' button up the top or connect via Chat and /join #help

Why not give it a go and see how easy it is!! :)
