MetaPost comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. Moderator email addresses are posted here.
In all seriousness, not since I saw Old One's Faded Glory setting have I seen a campaign setting that I would consider stealing whole-cloth. You folks, both players and DM, should be damn proud of the world you've crafted. You guys raise this hobby to an art form. If you were to ever publish this setting, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I have put a chat page that links to the channel #dnd3e up on the otherworlders.org website. It is not a Java client, but a rather nice Mibbit-powered one. The URL is: http://otherworlders.org/chat/enworld/
For MM (and I guess anyone else that wants to bookmark it) - you can pass a nickname in the querystring if you want. For example, I would use: http://otherworlders.org/chat/enworld/?nick=ToreadorVampire
and it will set my nickname in advance to "ToreadorVampire" instead of "enworld_guestxxxx" where xxxx is a random number. MM - you can easily pass "current logged in user's username" to that querystring and log people in with their nicknames automatically.
At the moment I have it linking to #dnd3e - because that's where the chatters are ... I think there was talk of a redirect to #enworld, but it hasn't happened yet, and since I'm not a mod on ENWorld, or an op in #dnd3e I am going to put my fingers in my ears at this point and run away singing "lalalalalala". Seriously though - if you want it pointing to #enworld or anything else instead, just let me know, it'll take all of 30 seconds to change it.
Also - right now the page is laid out in a totally standard/plain otherworlders.org style - I haven't spoken to Bynw about it yet, but he might be OK if you want some enworld branding on the page?

Can I use that page as a template to build one hosted on this machine and skin it appropriately? In other words - is there server side code on that page I need to replicate?

For simplicity's sake - no, there is no serverside code there at all.
It's all done from a linked JavaScript file I knocked together. Feel free to copy/steal it, it's not exactly anything ground-breaking.
Now to migrate one of the chat servers to a new (better) home ... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
