General
Since Sun, 10 Sep 2006 kpslashhaven.net has also its own Chat. You can talk about Fanfiction, with your favorite Author (if he/she is in the Chat) or about Kim Possible in General. Its also the perfect place to contact the Admins, propose changes or talk about things we could do better. Be aware that the fandom is very international and we suffer from the fact that we all live in diffrent timezones. When the Chat is empty there is a big chance that people are sleeping or have real-life-duties.
Server
We use the IRC-System for the Chat. Its widly used and very stable. Since we run it on our own Server its pretty safe too. A Introduction into IRC can be found here: The IRC Prelude
