Get an IRC client.

What browser are you using? You may try a different one. That may help.

If the web-based client isn't working, you'll need an IRC client. Do you have JavaScript enabled? The web-based client requires it so make sure it's enabled.

As for IRC clients if you're using Firefox you could install the Chatzilla extension. As a stand alone client XChat is pretty good. You could also try mIRC.

Firefox 2.0 is pretty old, so I'd recommend [url=http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html]upgrading[/url] to the newest one. If that doesn't help, I know that the latest version of [url=http://www.opera.com/download/]Opera[/url] works. I'd suggest trying those before trying to learn IRC.

is there any other way to get to the chat room besides from
this site directly?
no idea about JavaScript or even what it is really.

Again, my guess is that the chat software on the site was updated and it may no longer be compatible with your old browser. Update to a new one and see how that goes. It's usually a good idea to keep your software updated, especially if it is free because standards elsewhere get updated and one day may leave you behind with things not working.

I use Firefox and have the NoScript add-on installed. If I want to chat on this site, I need to set NoScript to allow both warpmymind.com and also mibbit.com, or the chat won't work. Maybe that's it.
