I’m on the chat a lot. I’m usually idle, but I typically sign in after I wake up and drag myself to my computer ops room, and then sign off before I go to bed. I’m idle most of the time as far as the chat is concerned. ---

How do you join the chat, and is it fun or not. ??? ---

You can joint the chat via the chat link on the YYE web site, or use a properly configured IRC client. Is it fun? Depends. It can be. But, a word of advice: Don’t come in and then split in a hurry and expect rapid answers. It doesn’t work that way. Sometimes it does, but it usually doesn’t. IRC rooms often go idle and stay idle for periods of time. That doesn’t mean you have to be idle, you can feel free to start a conversation. ---

When you click the forums, they will be a box near the top. It will say inside the box. “There are \_ people chatting. Click here to join the chat!” The chat can be fun if there are people in it. You can talk about basicly anything. I am in the chat sometimes when there is other people. ---

There’s lots of software available for the chat room. It’s TEXT chat, not voice chat. You can use a web browser, such as Firefox, and it will work just fine with the chat room. If you want to download software for your computer, you need to download and install an IRC client. Honestly, they are’t worth paying for, so look for FREE. Xchat2(aka ychat 2.8.6-2) works fantastic for PC. I forget what I use on the Mac, but it’s also free. There are also clients for smartphones, including the iPhone. Keep in mind that if you’re using an IRC client, you’ll need to know the server name: [vbirc.com](http://vbirc.com) or [vbirc.net](http://vbirc.net) and the room name, which is #yoyoexpert Unlikely, but you may have to open up holes in your firewall, but chances are small that you’d need to do that. ---
