I used to do chat years ago. The people that I mostly enjoyed talking to eventually get banned, so why risk it.
I remember going in a few times. All the people who were cool and fun in here, were exactly the same in chat. The odd individual who was objectionable/obnoxious in the extreme elsweehere... was exactly the same in the chatroom... lol
chat is lame.. full of what seems lurkers.. and it's always the same group of lame people.. and like orison said.. the SL has it's own "chat".. which is much better
Peri :cuss: :biggrinjester: Jokes? What jokes? I have no clue what you speak of :smilielol5::leaving: We are pretty open minded and inviting in chat so as long as you aren't attacking anyone there should be no problem, you might want to try it again sometime
I use chat rooms because I live in buttfuck egypt and I don't see people but once a week. I see hubby for about 2 hrs a day and on weekends. That leaves me a lot of free time and my off-the-wall thoughts add up, if I don't release them some where I'm afraid I'll implode ! I don't care for the drug talk so when that is happening I usually leave or talk to someone else in private. If you come in and chat is moving too fast, you can suggest going to one of the other rooms, I'm certain some will follow you, I would. Star probably would too. If you don't like the subject, suggest one. Too often I see people come in and sit there waiting to be entertained or some shit.. sorry,that's not how chat works... if you come in, have something you'd like to say or a subject to discuss... but please, try not to be negative, a lot of us use chat to escape the bad bits of life. Chat is a place to relax for a lot of us, chill, laugh at ourselves and try to socialize best we can. We're not all young and we're not all able to get out-n-about.
Oh, ok. Is there something I have to do to become one, or is it just something that happens over time?
50 or 100 posts if you still can get in chat after that, update your java. i didn't go in chat for like 3 years because i thought it was broken - i just needed a java update
I have nothing against the internet (obviously!). I don't know, when I was younger I used to love chatting with people and love the instant-ness of it and being able to chat to several people at once. Not really chat rooms, but chatting with my friends. I've met some great people online too, but like you said it's just lame. I liked the Thoughtzi chats sometimes because it was a handful of people I already liked. And Whimbrel.
They seem to be not very popular anymore..... People not feeling social,etc..... (Its understandable)
I used to do the chat a lot more but now Im always hesitant to join . you have to be careful, hipchat has a high potential for an undercover chris hansen predator catching
The chat is an awesome place and it is totally what you make of it, you can choose to ignore or chat with whoever you want and for the most part everyone is friendly. I hope all of you come around more often, and any of you that haven't give it a try
