When I tried to get back into irc, it said:

Choose a nickname

______________

Password

_________

Channel Key

__________

I don't know why it wanted a password or a channel key and I can't get into IRC now.

Little help?

You should be able to leave password and channel key blank, and it should allow you to connect. Are you able to do that?

If not, what client are you using?

well it keep saying it is 'connecting to server' but never does.

client?

you mean like mibbit and whatnot?

Yes; mibbit via their site, mibbit via SWC's site, mirc, etc.

Mibbit via SWC site.

Hmm, still seems to be working. Try entering a different nick from the main page, and just enter #swc-help or #swc-members as the channel to join so you can join different channels from there.

Still isn't working....

maybe there is something wrong with my internet

I am going to retire for the night as I will be out of town till Sunday.
