Thanks, Peter...but I haven't done anything, yet!
I have only tried to initiate conversation about the chat and conferred with Sir John about the status of the chatroom. He is working behind the scene to try to find out if Dilexnet plans to reclaim their domain name and keep the server going. Should it turn out that they do not want to continue, we will have to find another "venue" for our chatting.
Keep your fingers crossed!
