If you are connecting using an IRC client, you can use the following server information:

Port: 6667
Channel: #vborg

Gracias, and may I suggest adding this?

irc://irc.vbirc.com/vborg

and or

irc://irc.vbirc.org/vborg

Sorry but i don't understand your suggestion.

it's a direct url to open the irc channel from your browser to your irc client...

Indeed , if you have an IRC client installed, and it understands the command through the browser, it'll ask your IRC client if you wish to connect to that server and that channel. Example shown below:

Added clickable link to the Chat page.

I know this is a 3 years old thread, though it's mine. But I assume the chat has been completely removed? I do believe I noticed about 5 months ago that the IRC server doesn't exist anymore either. It's a shame if it no longer exists .

It was killed off a long time ago (at least two years ago now I think).

[Skyrider]

Indeed a shame. I assume there is no other vB IRC channel?

None run by IB/VB.

We dont even have a staff one now - that was shut down a few months ago in favour of Skype.
