 My NSG family 04/04/2005

Advantages Great place for friends to chat, good controls, 3MB storage space
Disadvantages 3MB, some areas not well set out,

I've already reviewed newstudent.org and told you all how great it's been for meeting fellow students. Well inevitably MSN addresses get swapped and what ensues... ...ridiculously large group conversations. My computer hates these as much as I do and other people were beginning to get fed up of them too, so someone decided to something about it and the result was our MSN group or community. Now while I can't comment about how easy they are to set up - and I'm fairly sure that they're not that hard at all - they're very quick and easy to join up to. You simply fill in a quick form and then wait ... more

MSN chat still alive in a sense 18/09/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Chat with friends and family share photos, messages etc
Disadvantages Can be slow at times

Back in October 2003 when the MSN chat rooms closed for good i was devasted i used chat a lot when my husband was working late it gave me something to do and i made lots of nice friends too, I never really knew any other chat services and was a member of a few MSN communities and thought it was a difficult thing to set up. I had a great idea for a community of my own so i investigated the prospect of having my own community, that is the great thing about it you can choose the subject and make it all yours and best of all its FREE. Setting up the Community was so easy infact it took me roughly ... more

20f wants you to leave message to hook up 14/06/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Very good way to meet people
Disadvantages its hard to get rid of all the sad people that dont use it for its purpose

Msn communities are yet another thing from msn that helps people get together over the net(i just hope it doesnt help perverts). The communities are a custom based site that people create and anyone with an msn passport *(Profile) can join. The Communities usually consist of a photo album, message board and a few custom pages, and a start page with what the site is about. As the site grows more pages, messages and photo's get added and more members join the site and thus make a 'Community' The whole site has just had a re-vamp and looks very colourfull and works well. Unfortuantly this makes ... more

WHO IS IN YOUR COMMUNITY 15/02/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages A great way of staying intouch
Disadvantages None that i can think of

Following on from my Hotmail review yesterday I thought it would be good to review another part of MSN and that is the communities. Communities have been around for many years but it wasn't until October 2003 when MSN chat closed that they became a bit more popular. I was a member of a few Communities and didn't know how easy it was to open my own until I got chatting to an online friend. Setting up your Community is quick, easy and most of all its FREE!. A Community is also like having your own website as our family decided to start our own one up so we could post photo's etc and at first we ... more

Annoying or Great but choose wisely 19/03/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Great chat facilities and people who want to talk about relevant topics (and in room hosts to make sure people who dont follow the rules will be removed!)
Disadvantages Loads and Loads and Loads and Loads.... of junk mail.

MSN communities is a new way to chat and meet people online. They consist of people who all wish to talk about the same thing. There are many different rooms from the 'Grapevine' rooms for general chat to 'Bedroom secrets' for those who are a little more sinister. I signed up to a few of them and found that I enjoyed talking to people, especially in the 'UK meet' room. The chat rooms themselves are superb, allowing for many pictures to be displayed and the hosts are generally fair (and give reasons if you get booted. The hosts are also in the room and watch you so if you make anything obscene ... more
