The site changed owners and switched to a different forum software some 
time ago. The transition didn't go too well, to put it mildly. And I 
liked the old forum software better. But things seem to be improving, if 
slowly. People are still posting.

There's a smaller section at http://www.sinclairzxworld.com/ too.

It sometimes works, the logging doesn't. But since it's not reliable, 
it's unlikely to attract a critical mass of chatters for meaningful 
conversation.

Because some of the German ZXTEAM (ZX81 club) members wanted to try the 
ZX-IRC client, I set up a dedicated IRC server at irc.zxq.de 6667. Login 
to common public servers took too long because of the MOTD being too big 
for the ZX81 :)   The server software is a bit limited, but sufficient 
for conversation.

Feel free to use it as a replacement for irc.worldofspectrum.org with 
the same channels #general and #technical. But I guess you need to be 
very patient for other chatters to show up. A webirc interface is 
available at http://webirc.zxq.de/ - defaults to channel #zxteam, change 
as appropriate.
