Been away from the AW Chat for a while now and would really love to go back in there... But for some reason the chat room won't open up?

I use a Mac and downloaded Colloquy. Usually I'd click Join Room, select my server, type #absolutewrite and the chat room would open up. Now, nothing happens.

I tried getting into the #thewriterscircle too (although I haven't been in there before...) to see if it was just something wrong with the #absolutewrite chatroom, but the chat for #thewriterscircle won't come up either. Waited for a couple of days to try again, restarted my Mac, but nothing is working. Not really familiar with Colloquy so I don't know what else to do...

Would really love to get back in and would appreciate any help I can get :\ Thanks in advance!

Hey RLim :) I don't know much about Colloquy, but I'd suggest maybe trying another IRC client. I use IceChat and really like it. Its super user-friendly. Otherwise if you want to try and get in without downloading an ap there is Mibbit. The websites are below if you want to check them out. We'd love to have you back!

Hey! I use colloquy on my phone, what server do you choose? And what happens when you try to log in? Do you get an empty room or does it not connect?

Hello AbielleRose! Thank you for your reply and for the links! I will check them out now.

Hello Sydneyd! Thank you for your reply! I choose irc.starchat.net and literally nothing happens @_@ The room does not pop up at all and I'm not sure if it's able to connect or not because nothing happens :\ Only the Connections window (?) remains.
