I'm unsure if this is a bug, or if this hasn't been implemented yet, but I can't seem to get into the Chat (IRC). It just pops up with a new tab that loads, then all that is on the tab is a big, black void.
Not sure what the issue is, datadogie. I'm the owner of the chat, and I can report that that window is working fine for a lot of people. If this is still a problem, maybe try a different browser or refreshing a few times. That which hosts the chat itself is not directly a part of the site so it's a more of a problem of your interaction with third party resources.
