It worked fine for me before I signed in with a nickname. After that I got the same message as you. Edit: it says to create a free account here: www.ustream.tv/sign-up-step-1In any case, the chat is probably moving fast enough with too many people, I'm not even going to try to keep up.

Aha! Figured it out.
You have to register with Ustream, then login. Go to the top of the chat, it's the first message when you open the page.
edit: oop... beat me too it. ;D

What a cool show. I got all jittery when they put up the trivia slide because it reminded me of the live show at Comic-Con. The short was hilarious. I can't wait to see their next event!

Despite only answering like 6 questions and there being over 1300 spamers... it was fun!
Way to go Bix!

Thanks to everyone who showed up, it went better than we expected with more people than we expected. So that was awesome.
And yes, we’ll be doing another one on Wednesday the 28th, stay tuned for details.
Don3k, you have to register with ustream before you can post in the chat box. Although with thousands of people, you should probably post in the "questions" thread on the RiffTrax forum next time, because it got too chaotic to really see anything in the ustream chat box.

That was a blast. I loved the Q&A at the end too, and Kevin's "that'll hold the little bastards" reference after the camera switched off. Looking forward to more!

Okay, now that it's over and I can't get onto the rifftrax forum (probably overloaded after the live show) I guess I'll ask my question here. I thought the trio was going to be in the chatroom after the live riff? Where were they?
I was all ready to watch this live thing and then an old friend I haven't seen in three years picks tonight for a surprise visit, ten minutes before showtime. It was very hard to concentrate on what my friend was saying when I could hear the faraway voices of Mike, Kevin, and Bill riffing away up in my loft, with nobody to listen to them.
Anyway, I'm guessing the live show was about 25 minutes, because that's when it got quiet up in the loft. I finally got up there about five minutes after the show ended and no Mike, Kevin, or Bill in the chatroom. Were they not on it at all or just there for five minutes?

Very cool! I had a blast, even though trying to keep up with 1700 people posting all at once fried my brain.

Is there any way to get a DVD of the "as aired" version of the short from tonight?
I'm watching the version of Self-Conscious Guy that was posted on RiffTrax after the live show. Very funny, but it would be cool to have a copy of the live version.

Yeah, I actually had an account, and was logged in. But each time I would type something, it would say: TheDON3k: My text here.You are not allowed to participate in this forum

Don, not sure how ustream works, but that's a bummer. I know we had to start two overflow chat rooms because of the amount of people there, not sure if that had anything to do with it. But regardless, if you saw the rate at which the messages came in, it wasn't really the most controlled way to get your voice heard anyways. Posting in the forum thread for future shows, or maybe I could even start one here, would be the way to go in the future. I'm not sure if the event was captured. Ustream may offer that service, don't know if we did it. I think someone on our forum captured audio though: forum.rifftrax.com/index.php/topic,12395.msg376473.html#msg376473

I thought the trio was going to be in the chatroom after the live riff? Where were they? They were not "in" the chatroom for the Q&A. After the riffing of the short, there was about a minute or less of silence and a caption on the video telling us to hold on for the Q&A. So Mike, Kevin and Bill came back and answered the questions on video. Some were questions posted ahead of time from the forums, and like two were from Mike trying to decipher the craziness in the actual chatroom. But if you were looking for them typing in text, that didn't happen. The Q&A was only like five questions anyway, so you didn't miss much in that regard. Sucks that you didn't get to see the riff though. Stupid friends! Who needs 'em?

Managed to catch this at my girlfriend's house. We both thought it was hilarious. Watching them live, even over the internet, is somehow that much funnier! And the Q&A was over too soon, but the guys were genuinely funny, especially when they are unscripted.
Sucks about the chatroom. We were wondering why no messages would go through, and ppl kept spamming it... At any rate, it wasn't possible to view both the video and the chatroom completely on her screen, perhaps they could be rearranged to be next to each other next time?
Thanks, and I eagerly await the next live riffing!

Congrats to Rifftrax for a very cool event. I very much enjoyed the short and Q&A, though I wish the Q&A was a bit longer. I went immediately and picked up the short, just as I have all previous. I agree with mst3ktemple, a copy of the live version that includes the Q&A would be nice. Rifftrax might consider making it available to those who also buy the short as "bonus" of sorts.
