• Temporarity Moved the IRC embed

    I removed the embed at the bottom of the page.  It really killed overall performance of the site, especially on mobile browsers.

    The New (Temporary and Very Ghetto) embed is below. It's literally just pasted into the html tab of blogger.  I'm not sure if my domain allows me to create actual side pages.  Still figuring it out!

    New chat Embed is HERE!

    This chat is hosted on IRC though of course.  You can find the information for that after the break if you haven't used it already.

    Right, I should totally be asleep right now! Off to read Ballad of Twilight Sparkle and pass out. 

    Actually that Rarity pun in the subject line looks way less cool than I thought it would.  I'm keeping it anyway though.

    1. Can't you just add small javascript link or button to the main page that opens the chat in an overlay, e.g. a simple div? This would make it both easily accessible and easy on the resources because it only loaded when explicitly requested.

    4. I have to admit the new chat window was growing on me. And then you move it? Well, at least, I'll be able to have the main page available when I chat.

    5. Woah
      The site is so much quicker now.
      You should just put it in a side page or something

    6. THANK YOU.

      I have mIRC and AndorIRC anyway, so the embed was a little superfluous for me.

    7. Good change. Now the page is done loading in ten seconds flat!

      Anyone using the chat regularly should probably look into standalone IRC clients anyway, when possible.

      Oh, and I kinda like that pun...
