Okay, I'm back to competing regularly, but I'm still unsure if I can be on the chat as of now. Why?
Our computer had to undergo quite a bit of repair. The system, though it didn't have a virus or anything, seemed to have a defect which was VERY annoying. We had to move our files to another computer, but only the important ones.
And unfortunately, my IRC client was not one of the files moved, and I don't remember where I got it. I may eventually get one again, but I'll have to set it up.
EDIT: Okay, I found a new version, ready n' updated, please ignore this whole topic. Thank you.
