*sigh* I think it dislikes me, can't seem to fight off the lag in there tonight :(

From my understanding, this is a common problem with most chats. The Tech Admin has been made aware of the issue.

[YT2095]

actually the Dedicated chat server I offered (for free) before, doesn`t have any of these issues, and suffers little to No downtime at all.

in fact I`m logged onto a chatroom on that server 24/7 and have only been dropped once in the last 9 days.

the offer`s still open anyway.

It all depends on the amount of traffic versus the available bandwidth the user has. Someone on dial up will lag quicker than someone on cable. Not much tech support can do about that.
If, on the other hand, it lags every time it goes above a certain number of people, then assigning more bandwidth to it should solve the problem. So far for me I have not seen it lag, and I am on 10Mbps cable.

[YT2095]

I`m on an 8Mbps.

so I can rule that out too.

ircd.blackcobalt.net is the server I use in the UK, but the Main server is: ircd.oppresses.us.

it`s Very Stable, and has been around for Many years, it`s Also free and Very easy to use, it`s also linkable via a JavaScript client (as we do on my Home forum), as well as X-Chat or MIRC.
it`s also Undedicated.

OK all, just a reminder that the rules at the Chat site are the same as they are over here. We have younger members who access the Chat site so please be mindful of that. Parents, just think about what you would want your kids reading. Thanks all.

Am on about 15/sec here so I shouldn't have been having problems under that theory either.
