Can I suggest using something like Rizon's webchat or similar, at least something that exposes more of the IRC backend to the chat and doesn't make you googlesearch for the actual address to point a client at? :)
it's just sending me to the everywhere chat front page. is it possible to get some clarification? i don't want to go in there sounding like a nitwit. more of a nitwit anyway.
You can use any IRC client to connect to this chat, however it requires a bit of extra effort. It seems the server only allows clients that send "ewcflash rambler" as username and "EveryWhereChat Rambler 2.1.732". As for IP and port, 184.72.218.23 port 7000 work for me but YMMV (the service is hosted in the cloud so you never know.. ask a pegasus if you want to be sure). I haven't tested any clients except for netcat and irssi. Be aware that irssi requires a small patch to src/irc/core/irc-servers.c to allow spaces in usernames.
This is only a workaround for the more tech-savvy bronies, so to help the rest it would be cool if you moved this to a network that doesn't have such restrictrions.

I can use this for beta testing A game I'm making
Does anyone know the password to the chat or I'm supposed to create an account for it?

I might mess around with an IRC version later on. This is just a fast one for fun.
@Sethisto
Any chance of a non-flash version? My iPod won't support it.
Hopefully later on = very soon :<
derpyhooves.com/chat is the real chat.

Halp! now the 20+ tabs of equestriadaily I have open on default makes my brower lag beyond imagination!

In any case, I'll be glad to be of assistance.
