Sounds like there's four or five different problems here. For the song playlist located on the forums and the side of the website it's called Marci. It's a third party application we pay for that's apparently had downtime due to a server switch. In that server switch they've had problems with their DNS. For the downtime we're getting a free month of service added onto our normal service plan. If you want it up faster I implore you to complain http://www.facebook.com/ajaxplaylist --- I've told the staff this, and I've also been waiting. I can't say I'm very happy myself, but this is the only option I have.

If you can't get the IRC running have you tried looking at the IRC FAQ page? It's located here http://918thefan.com/community/irc-chat/irc-faq/ It's been said time and time again the web-based IRC is one of the worst ways to connect. It's there for people to try out IRC, and then decide if they want to use it more often via the methods listed on the IRC FAQ page.

As for the radio there has been no problems with it what so ever. We had a downtime last night for an hour and it was reported on our Twitter, Facebook, and IRC topic. As soon as it was back up we reported openly it was back up. What problems you're having listening to the radio can be addressed if you tell us which way you're connecting. You might need to upgrade your flash if you're trying the web based players or even clear your cache. In addition you could try referring to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDgVyTg8EEE for alternative methods on how to listen.
