Yes I do - that is simply a java IRC client, it still attempts to make
the same connection (namely a TCP connection to port 6667 on
irc.enterthegame.com) as a IRC client does, which is still disallowed
by the corporate firewall (unless I am missing something - the source
of the page suggests it, I never downloaded the app itself as it's
signed by an unknown source)
If you want to make the chat room idea accessible to all, then do what
some of us have done in the talker world and make a client that operates
on http only - or stop using IRC and start using a hhtp chat room
codebase. Just a thought.
