As being a sort of net "addict", I have both real life and net friends. Some people still have not "entered" the chat scene, or have had bad experiences because they don't know the chat lingo, or the chat rooms they went to were people who were less than friendly to people who weren't regulars. Well, I could teach you some chat etiquette, but why would I do that when I can direct you to a site that already has it all mapped out for you? My net friend NewYouz has a special page set aside just for chatting. Take a look at NewYouz's Do You Wanna Chat? section. This will help you learn "the new language."
The first place I started chatting was Jim & Bob's Internet Connection on their chat site-Webchat. This is a public "family-type" chathall. It doesn't accept HTML code, it's censored for profanity, people of all ages come here to chat. All in all, its a good group of people. However, like every chatroom, we have the occasional jerkoff. What usually happens, is when a dork of this nature shows up, all the regulars basically gang up on them until they get frustrated and leave. I like having the one on ones...basically I'm a stubborn B***H and that helps ward them off. Another place to go is CompuChat (affectionately known as CompuCrap by many of the JBIC regulars). I have to admit, I haven't been there for awhile, I am starting to go there again, but its another great chathall. This chathall does support HTML unlike JBIC, but the rules of profanity and such still apply. SOME of the JBIC regulars can be found here. Last but not least, is ICQ. You may have heard of it, and it is a great program. You have to download it. This program allows you to notify and be notified when you and your friends . are online. It also allows chat, messages, file transfers and other tid bits. My ICQ UIN (Universal Internet Number) is 9253096. Pop and say hello!
