Welcome to the Timebomb 2000 web chat gateway. This website provides information and resources to connect to the TB2K IRC chat server, using your own IRC client or web-to-IRC gateway pages that can be accessed from a web browser.
Please choose a path...
Rules of Engagement - The rules and legalese regarding use of TB2K chat facilities.
IRC Client Connection Information - What you need to know if you have an IRC client, and where to get an IRC client if you want to take the next step.
NEW! TB2K Chat Package - In case you're not big on applet chats but don't know how to use an IRC client, you're in luck. Download the TB2K Chat Package, featuring a pre-configured, ready-to-run copy of mIRC.
Chat now via the Web - The web-to-IRC gateway for visitors that don't have or can't use IRC clients. If you have to deal with a firewall this might help you get around it.
These links open a new browser window. Your browser will ask you to confirm whether to load the applet - click "yes" when prompted or the applet will not load.
- Chat via JAVirc applet - embedded in a browser window (ONE window only). This is a good choice for folks that are relatively new to IRC as it's less confusing to work with.
- Small chat, for fullscreen browsers on 640x480 or 800x600 desktops
- Large chat, for fullscreen browsers on 1024x768 or larger desktops
- Chat via JAVirc applet - in floating windows of its own (MULTIPLE windows). Intended more for folks already familiar with IRC, this chat allows multiple chat channels to be open at once.
PLEASE NOTE: the above chats are Java-based. You must use a 4th generation or newer version of a browser that supports Java applets, such as 4.x or newer versions of Netscape Navigatgor or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
IRC Information Links - A few select pages of IRC-related information for your reading pleasure, with topics for newbies to advanced hardcore IRC g0dZ.
