Anthony,
That site is down right now, apparently. I'm in complete agreemant with you, though, about the hinkiness of Everywherechat.com, and the need for something new. Vicky will need to approve anything that points directly from GM to a new chat server, obviously, and I think it would be a basic goal to have another online Java chat client in place of the current one, so people wouldn't need to have a client of their own. I'm not too experienced with the whole chat thing as it is (GM really was the first one I ever went into, barring a few experimental forays here and there), so open suggestions for a replacement for Everywherechat.com might be in order now.
