I went over to the chat room; and there is no way to get into the chat room. Any ideas?

Could you describe what you're experiencing in a little more detail? It would help diagnose any problems.

What browser are you using?

The chat room appears to be working OK.

Knock? Somebody will answer the door.

Are you using the JAVA method or an iRC program? If you are using iRC, maybe it isn't configured right.

This is all I know; it asked me for $20. so I paid $20. Then it asked me for $20. So I paid $20. Then it asked me for $20. And I thought heck, I could lose my retirement if I continue doing this for the next few years. So I think I will not chat. I project chatting on this line will cost me $2,495,000 dollars by August of 2008.

It is after the the down load. You have a choice of pen pal and the other site. I figured it cost $20 to chat here. Often cost a bit on these sites. 20$ is not bad; so i put in my credit card, and it accepts, and I return, and it says pay $20.00. This is a great existential moment on my 50th birday. Sort of like "The Myth of Syphises (sp)"

This is what I get

"Welcome the the Adult DVD Talk chat room - open 24 hours a day for your chatting pleasure.

You can also connect to our chat server with an IRC chat client such as mIRC. The server name is irc.adultdvdtalk.com:6667. The room name is #adt.

Please enter a nickname to use in the chat room. You can leave the room name blank."

The box is frozen, can't type. There is no place to enter a nickname.

What are you downloading that asks you to pay $20? That's the question. It doesn't cost anything to get into ADT chat and the Java client is free, so you shouldn't be paying anybody anything.

You need to call your credit card company and cancel the payments, whoever they were to.

You should be going to this page.

I'm using Java 1.5.0 with Firefox and have no problems chat.

The chat room is free here. I don't know who you paid $20 to but it wasn't this website. Please provide the URL from the address bar in your browser of the website that is charging you $20 to chat at this site.

Based on this:

It looks like you're accessing the correct page on this website to use our free Java-based chat client. (All of our chat-related services are free.) Your browser must support Java and have java support enabled. You didn't mention which browser you are using. That would help.

It looks like he followed the link to the mIRC website and purchased a copy, most likely through the RegNow service.

mIRC has been around for a long time and is not a scam, as far as I know, so if they got your $20, I'm guessing you're supposed to do something now to activate your license for the program. Did it it give you a registration code? Did it tell you to check your e-mail for a code they'll mail you? If you've already gone through this, possibly you need to re-start your computer to get rid of the screen that bugs you for the $20.

Alternatively, the Java chat client should also work if you have Java installed on your computer and don't have it blocked somehow. (I know there is a popular Firefox extension called NoScript that has something to do with Java, but don't use it myself and don't know exactly what it does, or whether it might be hanging you up here.) You can go to java.com and click on the "verify installation" link (they make it tiny, so as to present a particular challenge to 50 year olds) to make sure you're got the latest version.

If neither of the above work, and if you're using Firefox as your web browser, you can install the ChatZilla extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/16/ . It's pretty easy to configure. No 20-spot required.

Opera is a browser with built in iRC functionality.
