Good chatrooms?

Saskia

Ok so MSN rooms are gone, Yahoo ones are full of trolls trying to sell webcam "hotties" and IRC sucks monkey balls. Are there any good Dublin/Irish chatrooms to spend a couple of hours in on a boring Sunday?

Omfg you take that back.

I thought chatrooms were as dead as disco

I only use MSN. How does one even start a conversation in a chatroom? At least on bulletin boards you just respond to an opinion, there's no awkward pauses or chats about the weather or whatever else you may talk about to fill the gaps in a chatroom.

Looked that up on the urban dictionary. So funny.

I use skype, mostly yo talk to people I know, cheaper than phone calls but I've met a few interesting people and if you wanted a random chat it's as good a method as any I'd say.

What stupid people say on chats to learn who you are and where you live so they can come to your house with a chainsaw and kill you.

Join up to one of the internet dating sites and use a chat room there?
www.anotherfriend.com or as per thread below www.passion.com
:eek:

Terry

Just google.
I'm reluctant to put links up because I don't trust chatrooms.

Never heard of that incident upto now, thanks for the link. 2 Irish girls were raped as a direct result of Bebo IIRC yet its still there.

Terry

No.
2 Irish girls were raped as a direct result of rapists.
There are still rapists in the world. Bebo didn't create them.

They were stalked on Bebo first. Why should chatrooms be blamed for sexual abductions when Bebo has no moderation whatsoever?

MSN voluntarily closed down their chatrooms based in the u.k. and Ireland.
They were not forced to close them.
Chatrooms or forums or any form of social interaction are not behind rapes.
Rapists are behind rapes.

You can be stalked on the street.
Should streets be banned? after all, they don't have any moderation.
Same goes for the phone or any other form of communication.


Orlee. That quote looks fine to me.

humbert

True, it would be just the same as closing niteclubs because they were responsible for date-rape. Still it is important to make people aware that you can't take anything for granted when chatting to people you don't know on the internet and perverts don't always look and act the way they're portrayed in the movies.

Saskia

Slow day in work so i thought id try Second Life to see what all the fuss was about. WTF? After taking ten mins to fill out details and installing software my "avatar" failed to appear and interaction with other characters on the "training island" was impossible. I feel all nerdy

humanji

Well a sure fire way to stop the "internet caused" rapes is to have kids go out and actually talk to their friends instead of posting every detail of their lives on the internet. But sure, if they did that, they may not grow up as fat and unhealthy and I'd have no one to laugh at.

Saskia

Thaedydal suggested www.gabbly.com. How about it? For us it would be http://gabbly.com/http://www.boards.ie/

Only if I can be Rb_ie.

You are posting on an internet forum, this makes you a nerd.
You are posting on an internet forum which was started up for those who play online computer games.
You are posting sneering at people who play on line computer games, trying to insult them called them nerds.

You are not very bright are you.....

I thought my would have implied that I wasnt calling anyone a nerd seriously. You're calling me dim and you're a moderator? Only on Boards!! :rolleyes: Didnt you send you send me a PM just yesterday with a link to some crappy IRC room? You should bring your PMS to somewhere else than a superficial "power" on an internet forum honey

Terry

I'll only tell you this once.
Putting smilies in your post does not exempt you from being banned for personal abuse.

Saskia

So its one set of rules for mods an another for the rest of us then.

Ah the thanks I get for being helpful.
Note to self do not try and help midguided, uninformed, beligerent, new posters.



can the mods of this forum or a passing Smod please ip check and id check this poster to ensure the are not a shill, seems suspect to me to raise such a ruckus over chat rooms and claim techincal ineptitude and then
start pushing a site like that one.
