Welcome to Hell's Chatroom.

This chat applet is here for users who want to speak to other users that read the comic and/or visit the forums. It isn't integrated into the board, so you can use any name you like, though identifying yourself in the room after joining would be nice. Keep in mind, besides this applet, you can join it by many other means, since it is REAL IRC and not a "Webchat" as you may have encountered. For info, see below for programs/clients and how to connect. Other than just the look, feel, and overall experience, it's an online multiplayer... Notepad.

Quick Access Link for IRC clients

Info for IRC programs that don't support IRC links:

SERVER: irc.zonexus.net
Port Range: 6667-6669
/join #Hell

I highly recommend using an IRC client to connect, such as:
mIRC (Windows)
Trillian (Useful if you also use multiple IM clients)
Chatzilla (This is for Mozilla browsers)
Xchat (Linux/Windows)
Colloquy (Mac IRC)

This server supports SSL connections, which is a secure line with encryption.
Xchat supports it by default, just connect with:
Server: irc.zonexus.net
Port: +6697

Other programs, like Trillian and mIRC, need special files. An SSL pack and instructions for setting up secure connections in Trillian and mIRC can be downloaded here:
Secure Pack


A nifty array of IRC commands can be found here:

Web access:
Thanks to Sage for finding this neat applet, which works very nice for a Java applet.
The channel is owned and ran by Masterlink, any questions or comments, PM me on the forums.

Remember: Fill in everything that isn't filled in except NickServ Password, this is needed only if your name is registered. Just make up some fun stuff!
Nickname registering information can be found by typing "!Register" in the channel or just asking around.
