September 27, 2002 at 4:43 pm #68261kamranMemberHi there…
It depends… coz in an IM you can only chat with those you know. You hardly add someone or someone harldy adds you u. In a chat… It’s obvious that you go to make friends, which is much more convenient coz u find loads of ppl there.Käm®åÑ
September 28, 2002 at 1:22 pm #68260MerryOneMemberi still prefer IM over chat. I’d rather have a one on one chat with someone I like….than be in a room full of idiots that I cant stand. If I stay in a chatroom long enough, I soon see the people for what they really are and start to use the ignore button far too often. That does not make for happy chat.

October 27, 2002 at 2:37 am #68258cindyMemberhi i would rather instant messengers than chatrooms i have been to many chatrooms on web and if i told you some of the things that have been said to me think you would be shocked or maybe not
it seems to be the in thing cyber but its not for me once they start i just log off:) yes stick to instant messengers is my advice you can get to know some nice people ive made a number of frends on msn and icq but before i would meet them i would want to know a lot more about them. then on a meet i would take a friend with me.November 10, 2002 at 9:37 pm #68266d0_the_dewwMemberIt depends with me i like chat but then agen i can be more my self in IM
November 10, 2002 at 11:54 pm #68259PhilMemberwhen i want to have a massive group conversation and meet new friends – chat rooms it is.
If i want a one on one conversation or a small group convo with people i already know – IM it is! 🙂
November 16, 2002 at 8:54 pm #68265FaizanMemberI prefer IM but when i think that i need another friend, then i have to go to the chat rooms.

You need to remember that this bigblueball (world) is 24 hours wide n when your online its possible more than half the regular users are asleep.:cool: (Right now theres nobody else online here:()
You could create a chatroom n invite a user to go there if you see one online.:DNovember 25, 2002 at 6:08 pm #68264FaizanMemberr the chatrooms working now?
November 26, 2002 at 5:49 pm #68267julieMemberHello rustedtight.
yes that was my plan once i knew chatroom was open to make a time to chat to members in bbb chatroom. these time zones dont make things easy but nothing can be done about time zones.December 9, 2002 at 5:14 am #68270sciencefeelingMemberI dont like Chat, i went in once and i didnt like it…what is the point?
One to one is much better…
I dont like meeting people online just because…I like it when it is a coincidence, but i dont go to a chat to “meet people”…no way!!, I meet people everyday, don’t need to go to a chat room where you dont see them for that.
If, for example, you give your opinion in a forum and, that way you meet people, fine, it is a bonus, but entering a chat room just because….ummmmm don’t find that interesting…
The last friend i met online (Jerkychew) was actually one of my friends’ brothers… i was in my friends puter and happened to talk to him by chance…but i wouldnt engage myself in a conversation with some random person, i just dont find it interesting…Just an opinion
NGMay 24, 2003 at 2:44 am #68263mariettelarkinMemberI prefer IM. Anytime I’ve ever been in a chat room I’ve been bombarded with people wanting to know my age, sex, and whatever. If only they knew I was old and a grandma!
