I haven't seen a post about it yet, so...  


HIH CHAT Y/Y?



If you are familiar with IRC, the jist of it is:
Server: irc.esper.net
Channel: #HiHGreatHall.

A detailed tutorial has been posted by [livejournal.com profile] kecchin. It can be found here. HOWEVER, the old Great Hall Chat is broken, so anywhere that it says "irc.alexisnet.net" needs to be replaced with irc.esper.net.

ALSO, if you cannot use mIRC, Mibbit is a great alternative. All you have to do is select "Esper webirc" from the drop-down list, enter your nickname in the "Nick:" box, and type #HiHGreatHall in the "Channel(s):" box.

If you have any troubles getting into the chat, please leave a comment at THIS post, so I will see it and can try to help.

There are a few rules for this chat:
• Absolutely no house-bashing or person-bashing.
• Please try to sign in with something similar to your LJ username, so we all know who you are. Except I break my own rule and go by Anie. Deal with it.
• As HiH as a community is BBFC 15, please keep all conversations at that level.
• Have fun!

I forgot it entirely, and realized it about twenty minutes ago. And as I am completely chat illiterate, I didn't know if this was still accurate or not. Thank you so much for stepping in and covering my ass. I'm so sorry you had to. ;_;

Awwww, that's okay. I was sitting all alone in Claw Chat and realized there was nothing about an HiH chat, so I thought "Why not throw some sparkly text in Hogsmeade?" XD (And I was more worried about stepping on your toes by posting this >.>)

Nope. I've actually been considering asking in the common room if anyone would be willing to make one of those widget things like we have for Claw Chat, so that the people who don't get it at all (me, for example) could still join in easily. But I'm not very good about asking for help in the first place, and the last week kind of got away from me until there was no time left. (I don't know how you made this look so smooth from the outside, because I think I'm losing it.) I very much appreciate you stepping in, and I'm not at all offended or anything. Thank you.
