Hi GrumpyGhostOwl,
I don’t know about the other, but I’ve been maintaining an IRC talker channel for a short while as a trial. I recently made it permanent, so now is as good a time as any to mention it. If anyone wants to drop by to say hi, we’ll look forward to seeing you!
You’ll need an IRC client application to connect. Or, you can connect via the internet.
To connect via the internet, visit here:
https://www.rizon.net/chat
You'll have to create an account and then connect to the room #gcon
For software, I’m on a Mac and I use a free application named Colloquy. Here is the link to download it:
http://colloquy.info/downloads.html
It has versions for newer and older Mac OS X, so read to choose the one that will work for your machine.
A friend suggested AdiIRC for PC users. It’s also free. Here is a link to it:
https://www.adiirc.com
The following are steps to connect using Colloquy, but I’m sure any IRC client will have similar prompts and commands.
When you open the application, a window will come up saying "New Connection."
In the Nickname window, pick a name for yourself. If you choose one that is already being used, the program will probably pick something similar, but you can pick until you get something you like.
Then under Server Protocol, choose "IRC Internet Relay Chat"
In the Chat Server scroll down and choose "irc.rizon.net" That's where I have the room hosted.
Then click on "Connect"
A new window will appear called "Connections."
Click on "Join Room"
In the "Chat Room" window, enter #gcon
Then a new window should appear, which will be the chat room. The topic of the room right now is "Up and running again!" so you'll know if you're in the right place.
If you have any problems connecting send me a PM and I'll see if I can help.
Hope to see some of you soon!

Is that what it is? The whole blue-screen-of-ads thing is a bit of a pain, and since you can't get into the Gatchfanfic talker anyway if you don't have a login, and registrations are closed at the moment, it does exclude folk like Katblu42.
Jason's new talker doesn't require any IRC software unless you prefer using an IRC client over the webpage, so why not give that a try?
Adrianag, I'm in Western Australia, at GMT+8, which is pretty close to if not the same as your time zone, and I find people are still up and chatting early Sunday morning my time. I managed to catch up with a bunch of Gatchamaniacs last weekend.
