Yep, that's the page for the java client. If you use an IRC client (recommended), then you can find the chatroom on the server on irc.shadowfire.org and to join the chat, type #bus si

If you need help, please let me know.

There are several different parts of bus. The webboard is one part. The IRC chatroom is one. The mailing list is another. They're all run by different people (although they sometimes overlap, I'm a moderator in the chat channel too for example) and have a different population (although again, a lot overlap, many people go to the board and the chat or the chat and the list etc.) They were all started by deb (sine nomine) but are not run by her anymore (except the board).

What parts confused you? Maybe I can make it easier if I know what you didn't understand?

And yes, for now, use the link that Stripe gave. If you have any problems, let me know.

So I was trying to access the chat room and something with my java - or maybe lacktherof- is going wrong. I tried to download it, it said it was downloaded but then didn't work - b/c too many java systems were running or something... oh, I don't know- I am terribley technologically impaired, which is incredibly embarrassing for a 16 year old. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?????

I suggest downloading an IRC client. Or if you really don't want to do that, try www.ircatwork.com channel name #bus, password si

To get an irc client, try mIRC at www.mirc.com When you get it running, the server is irc.shadowfire.org

If you want any more help, please let me know :) I know it can be tricky to get started.
