Welcome to the UO House of Commons Conference Channel (courtesy of Stratics IRC)

   You may participate in UO House of Commons conferences by connecting to irc.stratics.com port 6667.

   If you wish to use your browser to join a UOHoC conference, you may do so. Click on the link below that corresponds to your screen resolution. All of them should work in an identical manner, however smaller versions fit on smaller screens better.
Please make sure you select the UOHOC channel from the drop down menu, or enter the irc command /JOIN #uohoc to join the UO House of Commons chat room once you are connected.

   This applet works inside your java-enabled internet browser. Please be sure that you are using either MSIE 4.0 or Netscape 4.0 and above, this applet will not work with lower versions of those browsers, and is untested on other browsers.

   If this is you first time using our Java IRC chat program, you will be prompted with a security certificate prior to downloading the Java applet. If you wish to use the Java IRC to join a conference, you must accept the certificate. Stratics provides this Java program to it's patrons on an "as-is" basis, and cannot be held liable for any incompatibilities or data loss that may occur from it's use. By accepting the certificate you accept the risk of using this java software.

   Please be assured that every possible measure is taken to provide you with complete anonymity while you are connected to Stratics IRC. Stratics IRC does not allow other patrons to retrieve your connection and ISP information (people familiar to IRC will notice that their own IP mask is mirrored on top of any request to retrieve someone else's). This creates a secure environment where you can be perfectly assured that noone can launch malicious attacks on your computer.

   If you do not wish to use our registered Java applet, you may use a standard IRC client. Two good stand-alone IRC clients are mIRC or pIRCH.

   You may also be interested in the other UO or Online Gaming channels that are available from Stratics. While connected to Stratics IRC, you may see a current list of official channels, type /list at the command prompt of your IRC program.
