Advantages: u dont have to sign up to chat
Disadvantages: Tacky , poorly made, awkward to chat in the chat rooms

I have quite a few friends and I never really feel the need to log-on to a chat room and chat to people that 1) I don’t know and never will 2) Could be telling a load of lies 3) Probably have the brain capacity of a retarded fish (don’t know where that came from) I normally just phone a friend or start buzzing them on their mobile at 1 o’clock in the morning while their settling down to bed after their hot cocoa and a bed time ...
...not a real fan of chat rooms and the only time I used one was the one built into the Napster software that I used to pass the time. Most of today’s chat and forum services don’t really appeal to me, you always end up arguing with some member that thinks that they can come to your house and kick your arse when in truth they’re some little spoiled 11 year old with absolutely no friends at all. You will always find members that will ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use , One Of the original Chatrooms on the net
Disadvantages: Poor Chatters now, Webtv & Australians

Ok where do i start with chathouse. Chathouse was my first chatroom experience way back in the early nineties. I was gophering or archie one night ( i cant remember) and i stumbled across the aforementioned chathouse. So i jumped into to the room called the hottub, this was one of the original rooms on the first floor along with the likes of the beach and The tunnel of love. Back then there was only six original rooms (i think due to server space ...
...of which enhanced the flow of people. Regularly the Chathouse used to get 2000 loginning on each night (BTW that is EST (US) night as many brits werent online back then) My haunt became the tunnel of love with great friends like Caroline, sad poet, master mechanic, scarlet , spooky 42 and others who made the room special. This was a proper chatroom where you logged in and had proper conversations, a place where cyber sex rarely took place. Then ... Read review

Advantages: You can meet some really nice people
Disadvantages: The idiots that can be in the rooms

I had heard about chatrooms in the press and magazines and was curious as to what they where all about so nearly three and a half years ago I went in to find out. Everyone was talking to each other about a variety of subjects and after going in a few times, started to get to know people as it seemed to be the same people in, at the same times each day. I made friends with quite a few nice people. Admittedly there was alot of numpties in there as ...
...you could tick to ignore these people so their messages did not come up. You just had to be cautious. There was always plenty of rooms where you could have a group of friends in to chat to without lots of numpties annoying you. I started to get addicted to it and whenever I had some spare time logged on. One night someone was talking about another site Chatting.com which had lots of people from the UK in it and that is when I met my husband. He was ... Read review

Advantages: variety of people, "community" spirit
Disadvantages: variety of people (leave me alone), "community" spirit (I thought I came in here to get away from it all!)

I discovered chathouse.com whilst I was a student and should have been in lectures or studying. While I no longer frequent the chat halls as I used to, the pull of the place still makes me go back occasionally. Choose your room by genre (hip hop, teens), location (Canada, UK), privacy (public, private), have conversations in rooms (private or public messages) whilst still being able to block users you do not want to see. Send messages through the ...
...to see while you are chatting. This is all very well and good, but the real reason this place is so busy is the fact that it is so popular with all. As with all chat rooms you can meet people from everywhere doing everything (or so they say!). Check it out because it's fun and you want to. You may just meet the person of your dreams - it's been known!! Best rooms in my opinion are on the "second floor". Check Mardi Gras or Halloween - you know you ... Read review
