9 am WA time would work for me. That would be midday in Sydney, 5pm in LA and Vancouver, 7 pm in Chicago and 8 pm in Washington DC.

I've been having trouble with the software, as my Mac refuses to use Colloquy (don't know why)... so I'll give it a skip this time, until I figure out how to do it.

ETA: Jason, I tried to register with rizon before downloading Colloquy, and rizon was asking me for an "IRC nick" -- would that be the nickname I will give to Colloquy, or have I missed something? I couldn't find on the rizon FAQ what an "IRC nick" is (it seems a big chunk of internet activity has passed me by -- I'm learning so many new things with the talker!!!).

Hi Daniella,

Hi all,

A quick bump to remind you all the chat room is always open. I usually check in later in the evenings, but others drop in and out at all times of the day. If anyone wants to try to organize a regular meeting time at any point, it will be there! Instructions on how to connect are at the beginning of this thread. Hope to see some of you soon!

Hi all,

Stuck at home with nothing to do? Want to talk with some fans from around the world?

I just want to remind you all that my Gatchaman chat room is always open. I usually check in later in the evenings, but others drop in and out at all times of the day. If anyone wants to try to organize a regular meeting time at any point, it will be there! Instructions on how to connect are at the beginning of this thread, and here:

To connect via the internet (extremely simple), visit here:
https://www.rizon.net/chat

You'll have to enter a nickname and then connect to the room #gcon

For software, I’m on a Mac and I use a free application named Colloquy. Here is the link to download it:
http://colloquy.info/downloads.html

It has versions for newer and older Mac OS X, so read to choose the one that will work for your machine.

A friend suggested AdiIRC for PC users. It’s also free. Here is a link to it:
https://www.adiirc.com

The following are steps to connect using Colloquy, but I’m sure any IRC client will have similar prompts and commands.

When you open the application, a window will come up saying "New Connection."
In the Nickname window, pick a name for yourself. If you choose one that is already being used, the program will probably pick something similar, but you can pick until you get something you like.
Then under Server Protocol, choose "IRC Internet Relay Chat"
In the Chat Server scroll down and choose "irc.rizon.net" That's where I have the room hosted.
Then click on "Connect"

A new window will appear called "Connections."
Click on "Join Room"
In the "Chat Room" window, enter #gcon

Then a new window should appear, which will be the chat room. The topic of the room right now is "Bird Go!" so you'll know if you're in the right place.

If you have any problems connecting send me a PM and I'll see if I can help.

Hope to see some of you there!
