>What happened to being able to access the UT Chat via an IRC client?

I noticed that too, but the Chat page still says MSChat works.

On top of that the new Bot put in sucks. Why can't users be the Channel Operators? Do I have to wait until a sysop shows up so they can OP me? We now have the same IRC setup as a Teen chat room on MSN.

A couple of us sit in the room nearly full time and field questions through there, but we now can't control the room at all?
