Often the problem is that EN World itself is down, so nothing really helps when that's the case: people can't get to the login page, the forum, or anywhere connected to EN World. Not sure what to do about that.
BTW, for others seeing this thread, chat is currently working again.
Please also note: despite the pulls of real-life activities on the wizos/magi, ISRP is still considered a moderated site. Even if you don't see anyone "in uniform" on site, you are still encouraged to report abuse to "isrpmagi@gmal.com". Even at UH.
