Seriously though, I am not that great with irc....nothing has changed, so why isnt it working?
--------
edit: it randomly started working at 8 tries, odd

edit2: its a error again, wtf site

"get a client" (like ippiki ookami suggested) means:
Download & install a program that lets you chat on IRC.
These programs are called "IRC clients".
There are many of them, but the most popular one seems to be:
http://www.mirc.com/

fuck....its happening again, same error WHY D:

why is the site's irc so shit right now?

That error is because there is a problem with the client, the server, or the firewall.

Since I haven't had any other reports of this, I would assume the server is fine, although I will look into it just in case.

Try clearing out your cache/cookies, restarting your browser, and maybe even reinstalling java to see if that clears it up.

It worked mere moments ago, now it wont work again and I did all that. The site is acting weird, I never saw this error before today. Half the time when I click IRC the box wont even pop up for me to allow it and it goes right to that error. Even when I allow it by the box it still does it.

I just tried to access the irc over 20 times now and all I get is this over and over again (mind you I was JUST using it too)

I know what you mean. Honestly, when I had a problem like this, reinstalling Java did the trick for me. It's not 100% guarantee, but there's a good chance.

Alternatively, you can try mIRC. It's not free (after 30 days), but it would remove the Java component that the site requires.

If you did want to try and reinstall Java, here's the link: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

I did but same problem. After trying to a good 15 more times it randomly worked again. I just hope this error doesn't carry over into tomorrow as this is the first day it has happened.

Sounds good. I will also keep an eye on it on this end and see if it is happening to more than just you.

IRC never works for me. I just click IRC and stare at a blank square for 20 minutes

>paying for software

I registered mIRC a few years ago after having used it for ages with a serial that fell off the back of a truck. I figure that any program I use for more than a decade deserves at least 20bux.

IceChat is always free and chatzilla is horrible but usually right there on firefox ready
