Whither Official CHUD Chat?

So will there ever be another Official Chud Chat linked to from this site?

I know the seldom I was on I had some good times, and it would be fun to have an official chat again. I know we have a link to some other chat program somewhere, but no one ever gets on and its just not the same.

So any plans in the works, powers that be?

Would anyone care?

Wow, I didn't know the one that was here was gone. Must've left before I began posting.

It was working until Neil vanished and the server contract got dropped. I've had a piecemeal server setup on one of my sites that is running a decent perl-based CGI script. The problem with integrating that script into the board framework is that it has to run in its own window. I'm still trying to work a way around that, but it's slow-going.

The one advantage to the script I'm running now is that even people behind multiple firewalls at work can still chat if they can get web access out. The CGI runs as a port 80 call to a web page instead of opening up a non-standard TCP port that most firewalls block.

The current location is http://chat.networkops.cc and has been working fine since the first week of January. It's located on a public IRC network running from irc.dragon.org. The network has relatively few people on it and usually has very low lag times. The interface, as I said, is CGI based, but still recognizes the bulk of the basic IRC commands. If anyone knows of a quick and easy way to work the active script into the CHUD framework, let me know.
