been on that website already alci but thanks
guess i'll just be absent from mirc for the year ^6
like I said, web-based clients will probably still work (they did for me, anyway) so you have no excuse!!
i don't love you guys enough to find a web client
you mean you hate us so much that you can't be arsed to click on the "live chat" link on the bush side menu?

tools -> options -> options -> uncheck 'check for timed out connections
i actually have no idea though. I remember having to do something when I got to uni to IRC and I had something similar to that (i could connect but if i went idle for like 5 minutes it'd d/c me. I'm not even sure if that's what I had to do tbf

it has to do with the Ports that are enabled/disable at your school
disabling ports is more powerful than disabling the ability to go to websites. i.e Proxies and anonymizers can get past locked websites via the browser.
however getting through Ports is very hard as it has to do with the server of your school. Unless you want to be banned from school for hacking into the server and enabling the port that is needed to use mIRC and others, might as well just stick with your cellphone/iphone or go home and use it

I believe open ports on netgamers are 6665-6669 and 8080. Try connecting through one of them, it's possible (unlikely) your network only has the default 6667 blocked.
Alternatively find an irc proxy you can bounce through on port 80. Failing that - if you've moved away from home to go to uni, see if you can set one up on your old PC on your old connection. I would elaborate further, but honestly, if you need further instructions, then this option probably isn't for you.
You could also go hit up the IT techs, they might be sympathetic, IRC is hardly obscure traffic.
If all else fails, you'll just have to stomach a web client unfortunately.
