You need to have Java installed. You can get it from their web site:

http://www.java.com/en/

You can also connect to the chat with any IRC client (including the popular mIRC), but that's a little more complicated.

I was gonna pop on for a sec and it turns out the same thing's happening to me. Somebody should get on that.

By the way, who owns this place

Indeed, it would appear that the Java client here isn't working for whatever reason.

Well, if you still want to get on you can connect with a standalone IRC client. mIRC seems to be a popular one: http://www.mirc.com/ .

Once you've started that up, type "/server luna.irc-hispano.org", then "/join #spw" and that will get you in.
