Armin van Buuren

Chat

Welcome to the official A State of Trance/Armin van Buuren chat!

We want the chat to be a nice, safe place for all chatters. As a result, please follow these simple rules:

Keep the conversation PG-rated, since there is a wide range of ages in the chat. Anything deemed offensive will not be tolerated.
No offensive references to a person or group by race, religion, gender, or orientation.
No illegal activity (e.g. discussing where to get warez, pirated movies, etc.) under any circumstances.
Do not impersonate any other user in the chat. This includes moderators, show hosts, and well known guests.
The use of Armin's name in a nickname is discouraged, as it creates confusion.
No shouting (i.e., TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS).
Do not harass other chatters. You can respectfully disagree, but don't be rude.
No spamming of web sites for either personal or commercial purposes. Posting a personal web site once is OK, just don't do it repeatedly.
Politics, sports, or religion talk during the live shows should be avoided. Even if shows are not live, remember that politics and religion are still touchy issues that can degrade chat for everyone; use your best judgment when speaking in chat about these topics.
Allow the moderators to do their jobs. Rather than correcting behavior, ignore people who bother you and inform a moderator if someone is being disruptive.
Do not speak in a different language.

The chat rules do not cover all possible things that can happen in an active IRC chat. Generally speaking, avoiding being disruptive to other user's chat experiences and being sensitive to some of the younger chatters will avoid any chance you might be removed. A little thinking before typing goes a long way. :)

In order to join the chat, you need a nickname.

You can also use an IRC client. Connect to irc.mixxnet.net and join #armind or visit the MIXXnet website.
