Gamesurge is strictly for feminine men pretending to be women, so I respect your opinion, along with Brazilian Rider's decision of not wanting to download a 3 megabyte app.
I've been dragged into a whole bunch of multi-user AIM conversations over the past month or two, they work well enough for me.
No one's on the Palringo except someone named "gametalk" or somethin keeps spamming me so I's loggin off. I join the IRC one -- the info was wrong! I had to get info when using the web chat... so here it is. Correct info: irc.gamesurge.net Port 6667 Put a nickname or you can't join.
