Ever went on to chatrooms?

I was a little shit in 2006 and I was a literal monster in 2010.

I should have been killed.

How do you know you weren't, and this is your afterlife? But what does that mean for the rest of us here...?

I believe I still deserve it

I remember there was this chat room when someone unloaded her most traumatic life event she ever experienced out of the blue. I guess it embarrassed her intensely since she left the room every time I came in and no, I actually tried to comfort her but I suppose my knowing about it made my presence awkward. I don't blame her in the least.

There was also this program, Microsoft Comic Chat where your chat remarks were displayed in a comic format. Your remarks were in a thought balloon emoted by your chosen character and the whole chat looked like a newspaper comic strip. I really liked that and used to chat with other people voraciously on that thing but it went out of favor and got discontinued. I wish there was still something like that.

That was during a time when Microsoft was still innovative and not evil.

Dude! I read about that one in a magazine and thought it was the coolest thing ever (and so did the editor) but, sadly, I never got to try it out :/

Yes, but not since 1997 (or '98, I misremember). My stepdad bought one of the Microsoft WebTV appliances and I found a place called The Dragon Inn, which was an RP chatroom that would often crash when several people tried chatting at the same time. I was part of a small group that would pose as "null," a creature with no name (we had figured out how to do that) that would lurk and rarely speak.

I would dial in to a local multi-line BBS and chat with people on there. I actually met a few local people 2 grades above me the summer before I entered to high school. Worked out great because one of em would give me a ride to school in the mornings.

I remember being a young teen and talking to strangers in AOL chatrooms.

"A/S/L?"

OMG! Haven't read that in ages.

Amazing how no-one would reply to it nowadays.

Things have truly changed.

Nope, I don't want people find out what my voice sounds like, it could be used against me.

Same.

I'm VERY self-conscious about my English voice (I have been told I sound Russian, which, uuuuuuhhhhh...).

That's why I only use text.

Can you squat with your heels fully flat on the ground? You might be a Russian and you don't know it.

Impossible for me to be one — I hate alcohol xD

Well now the voice in my head when I read your posts will be this one:

I thought for a second you were referring to IRC chats XD
I never used them, I'm already pretty reserved when talking to people that would have just been anxiety inducing to me.
The closest I got to using an IRC would be Discord. I still use it, just not directly. There's people I give a shit about that still use it there.

Those count as well.

Ah yes Yahoochat bring me back to my youth
Was also one run by a local radio station which was ptetty good in the early 2000's but they shut it down after a man used it to rape 8 teenage girls.

I was more into Yahoo answers just asking some ridiculous questions

I like how casually you said that middle part.

ICQ and chat roulette, those were fun times lol

A/S/L

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

Not really, never where the kind of 'chat' person.

Even when all the forums added chat on the top, I just skipped it and went to the topics.

Yes back in the early 2000's my little sister used to use a chat room for Robbie Williams fans
i would jump on it if she forgot to log out and troll them by saying silly things in the microphone with my squeaky arse voice. i thought it was hilarious at the time
Robbie Williams himself (apparently) would occasionally make a comment once in a blue moon
and the chat would go nuts! but i never got to troll him personally

The fact that he would actually post on it makes that strangely heartwarming.
