I think they're reserved for the under 13's or weirdo perverts now

Oh yeah is that the ship thingy, i was a bit confused with it all, cos you have to build yourself up the ranks and stuff. Too complicated for my liking

Gimme a good old fashioned forum anyday

Thats what I'm on about, ok, I understand the need for child saftey but .................. i used to enjoy chatrooms, it was the annominity, made some good 'friends' and had some wicked laughs

At the end of the day, I put a LOT of the blame on irrisponsible parenatal control, I should know, my partner's one of them

Yahoo UK now uses Lycos for chat (ships 'n all). Download Yahoo messenger from Yahoo.com and you get all the US chatrooms.... full of weirdos, loonies, porn bots and Americans.

Seriously though, we used to have 20 + peeps in a room and have a right time, music playing / virtual partee, and no hint of any 'hitting' on anyone.

Same here, have met loads of people in the past, haven't touched it for a few years though.

I've met lots of nice people, and one or two very unhinged people too.

LOL, know what you mean, you could have asked Marina ( I miss her

)and Chim about unhinged, lets just say, the naked chef took on a new meaning

guess it's down to Chim to uphold my good name now, all good clean fun

I used to use one a good few years ago called firetalk, it was taken over and renamed paltalk there are some good chat rooms on there, lots of virtual dj's and tech rooms + social issues lots of fun. There's too many americans on it though. You can use voice and cam or just txt. Recommended if you need technical help real fast.

TBO I prefered it when it was firetalk, paltalk is supported by ads and some spyware checkers dont like it.

I haven't used mIRC for a while

My hinges stayed intact at all times Bop - and who would cook in the nude? shrug:

That reminds me, must browse through my pics one of these days......

But yes, you are right - we did have some laughs...........
