• For those of you that once checked it out, or those of you that have yet to try it, we’d like to announce that we’ve debugged our News Askew online chat module and it’s back online and easier to use than ever. News Askew Chat uses regular internet IRC servers, so you can connect to us in one of two ways: Through our web login, or through your standard IRC client at irc.starchat.net:6667.

Best of all, we’ve made the name registration OPTIONAL, so, if you want to protect your nickname, you can still register to chat, but if you’d rather just stop in and check it out without a password, you can do that as well. Just input a username and leave the password field blank. Simple as that.

News Askew Chat gives you the chance to talk real time with other View Askew fans. We’re working on getting some View Askew celebs lined up for some interactive Q&A sessions as well. Look for more news on that soon. Until then, be sure and try it out!
