Is there still a #GamingGuardians room on that server, whatever it was?
I recall someone saying a permanent room was made, but I can't seem to find the thread.

From the depths of the archives, I have brought it forth!
It was on irc.sorcery.net, but was never very active and when I checked a moment ago, I was the only one there. However, I'm going to sit in the channel for now; I'd like to see it come back. Please come and check it out!
irc.sorcery.net #GamingGuardians

I've never been able to get IRC programs to work... How precisely does one connect to this?
[edit: Bleh. As usual, calling for help makes me get my next try to work! Successfully connected..]

Go to www.mirc.com and download and install mIRC. When you run it, an "mIRC Options" dialog box will appear. There will be a dropdown menu labeled "IRC Network:", scroll down until you see the entry "Sorcery". This is irc.sorcery.net. The box below it should read "Sorcerynet: Random Server", which is what you want it to say.
Now, enter the information in the boxes at the bottom of the window (not necessarily truthfully, the information in the boxes besides "Nickname" will be publicly viewable by anyone.) "Full Name" is just that (mebbie character name), "E-mail Address" a duh as well, "Nickname" is what will appear by your messages in the chat. GG Might have his be "Graveyard_Greg", or he might have it as "Chromedome" or "Geekboy". They're not like AIM screen names; you can change them whenever you want. One thing, it has to be one word (use underscore for spaces). "Alternative" is a backup nickname, which will be used if what you put in "Nickname" is already taken. You shouldn't need to worry about any of the other panels.
Now, click the button marked "Connect to IRC Server." If you've done everything correctly, the "mIRC Options" window will dissapear, and the window already open will say something like "Connecting to irc.sorcery.net". Then a bunch of text will probably scroll by too fast to read. This is information from and about the server you've connected to, including the Message of the Day for the server. Feel free to read it.
Just a note: if you hit the Enter key instead of clicking the "Connect" button, the window will save your options and close without connecting. If that happens, click the button that looks like a lightning bolt in the upper-left corner. Clicking it again will disconnect. The button to its right (a hammer by a folder) will bring the options dialog back up.
Once you're ready, click the cursor in the box at the bottom of the open window (the Server window) and type either "/j GamingGuardians" or "/join #GamingGuardians" (no quotes on either). IRC room names are marked by a pound/hash/whatever sign in front of them, so if you made a room named "Foo", it would really be "#Foo". The "/join" command is a standard IRC command, the "/j" command has been defined by mIRC to mean "/join #". What this means to the new user is that they only have to type "/j GamingGuardians". When you do this, a new window will open up. On the right will be a list of everyone in the room (room operators have a '@' at the start of their names, other signs have different meanings), on the bottom is where you enter and edit text before posting, and in the middle is (duh) where the text comes out .
That should be enough to get someone connected to the Gaming Guardians room, later (read: tomorrow-ish) I'll post some more info for those who want it.

I may be moving the channel to another server in the near future; some odd connection issues have come up that concern me.
I'll keep you updated.

Since I'm the one who made the room, I suppose I should probably say something, ne? ^_-
The room created was permanent in the terms of IRC. However, it has long since vanished due to disuse.
Therefore, moving it to a different network is entirely feasible.

Peacefulhaven?
Waitamin- Isn't that Bob and George?
[EDIT] You could always try irc.tauniverse.com for an alternate server... or even irc.dumpshock.com... [/EDIT]
