I can't join the chat... is the Server down?

I'm on right now and it's not down....

its fine, when in doubt, restart your computer

did you try using a differen username? maybe nick locked

Couldn't tell you. I've not done this before. Just downloaded mIRC, installed and joined the #civfanatics channel - but there's nothing there!:confused:

this is strange, there are a dozen of us in there....:confused:

used the right server?

I must not know what the heck I am doing...

What server should I use???:confused:

Once you have installed mIRC, connect to the IRC server at irc.webmaster.com then join the channel #civfanatics. Have fun chatting!

or scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on chat

Well, I still don't know what the heck I'm doing....

When I click on chat below I get a little window with nothing in it. Tried mIRC and webmaster.com but can't figure it out.

EDIT: Hey, I made it in! What do you know?
