I am well aware of the ways around it. I just don't feel like using them. My school is extremely... well... over-reactive when you get around restrictions they have in place. One of their restrictions is "chat" sites (including but not limited to IRC gateways). If it isn't blocked by the filter, it will be soon :) I just feel like being a good boy right now I guess.

I was a C.S. student once (more than two decades ago!)... I'd say you're not being very creative about overcoming your network restrictions :) There are several free web IRC gateways you can use in "web only" situations. For example, browse to

http://embed.mibbit.com/?server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23sword&forcePrompt=true

and after a mild delay, enter a nick and click Connect, and you should be on #sword :)

Actually, there is a link called "chat" on the http://www.crosswire.org home page, which uses mibbit to do this, under "Do you need help?" -- doesn't that work for you?

If not, and you want to chat on #sword before May 9th, say so, and I'll set up a copy of CGI:IRC somewhere for you to use :)
