I saw a link on the OS2World homepage for chat which tries to open in Chatzilla when I click on it. 
I have Chatzilla already open with 5 server with 11 channels open so I know it is working but I get:
[13:43]   ===   *** Banned AUTO-USER (2007/2/9 10.03)
[13:43]   [ERROR]   Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (*** Banned )
[13:43]   [ERROR]   Connection to irc://efnet/ (irc://irc.prison.net/) closed. Reconnecting in 15 seconds.
when I try the chat link.

Efnet IRC net is open for everybody so it's odd that it says that your banned, but then again could be that you trying from a network that doesn't allow the irc traffic. The main reason why we choosed to make use of the Efnet was that it's available for everybody from everywhere. The only suggestion would be to try from a different network / ISP (office vs home).

I can try it from home later but I am currently connected to Moznet, netlabs, freenode, and one internal irc server so I know the network doesn't block IRC.  For that matter I am getting to the efnet server as it is what is giving the banned message.  I don't know why the reference to localhost, now that I try it again I get:
   Closing Link: 32.97.110.142 (*** Banned (cache))
which the IP makes more sense though I don't get the cache part.
Oh well, I mostly was wanting to make sure I just didn't have some configuration part that was needed to connect to it missing.

I just tried out to connect to the connect and did so without any problems; okey, this clearly isn't any help for you. But I honest have no clue why you're not able to connect to it. Question is then if other people have problem to connect to it.

While on the topic for the IRC - are there any suggestion for a specific topic that we could plan for and setup when it works for as many people in as many timezone?
