Chat rooms & This is addicting

[nyar]

Ok-
first off- I hate chat rooms- they seem like such a phenomenal waste of time-
that said-
this is the only site i post threads on- I started in Jan and I swear I feel addicted- I probably check this more than my email or sites that post my art!!! for some reason thats kinda freakin me out!!
any thoughts on either subject?

I post on two other boards besides this one, as well as manage one of my own.

I also play Everquest 2, so...that's kind of like a constant chat room, but only with people I know in real life and get along with fairly well. O_o

when i lost my job i was on here like ever hour,for like a couple weeks, i still get on here quite a few times a day.........and i hate computers,,i know what you mean about being addicted..........it's just soo rare to interact with so many like-minded ,cool, diverse, people..........and it just keeps on callin' you back.......

I see what you mean...I've realized that forums seem to share SO much more wisdom than chatrooms. Chatrooms to me seem like a bunch of people typing the first thing on their minds..and also seem to be in constant conflict over the most pointless things. Personally i've never been hooked on chatrooms. They did nothing more than annoy me. But forums on the other hand. They were designed to hold decent conversations. Forums filter out the chaotic idiocy that goes on in chatrooms. Seems as though the fact that a more time consuming process is required to post your replies, people actually seem to put some thought into what they type.

If he only knew I had my attack force of ninja monkeys around his house!...oops. I killed him.

[adorn_shadow]

lol i know. oh oh, ahh ahh ahhh chooo gotta sneeze,ahh ahh ahhh chooo oh killed all his parrots!

[Morning Glory]

yeah, it's pretty cool until we start talking about politics. and then we always say that we're going to stop, and someone brings it up again and we all go apeshit. haha. and come to the same conclusion once again.

True true true...though even as heated as they get it all fades fast. Kinda hard to hold a grudge here...It's too intimate a group for that.

What is interesting is that the percived animosity in one thread rarely carries over into others. It's rather unique really.

I use a computer a lot anyways. This forum is a great anchor for multitasking. I haven't been to a chatroom in years. Other forums generally suck. I seem to get a lot more done this way, people here make my others tasks more like a fun game. I don't post anywhere else now, I only would if it were on very specific subjects. Everything else just wastes my time.

I don't do the chat thing anymore. But when I did, I used to have a dummy screenname and fucked with people. It's kinda funny to have 15-year-olds try to pick me up. Well with a screenname like gothslipknotfan420666, who can refuse?

[Sceptic_Messiah]

i used to be on here all day everyday until i started working.....now im unemployed again so im gonna be on more .......chat rooms bore me, i play runescape though which is kinda a chat room

[Ichigo]

The only time I ever go in chat rooms is when I'm on soulseek looking through people's files for stuff to download. Sometimes if people are talking about something interesting, I'll join in. I like going on message boards a lot though.

[karyn]

boards are way better than chat. more likely to open minds and introduce new things. this board is the best one on the net for finding cool new things i can get into and for hearing new ideas on a deeper more intelligent level.

[Forestghost]

Yeah, chatrooms are pretty crappy. It's hard to find controlled conversations, and hard to get to know people's personalities. This is the only board I post on, and damn you guys...it's great to have some great things to talk about with a great bunch of people.

AND, this is a great place to be when you're lonely...even though the chat isn't live....you can go to so many different topics and talk all night. Then the next day you have something to look forward to when you check back to see what people had to say to your thoughts and opinions.

*doing the happy dance*
yup...definately supreme to chat!

The chat room thing has been played out for me but with certain people it could have been fun. I did Mirc for way too long. I think it is a prerequisite to be mental,dysfuntional, and irritating just to join. Not including you Daimonic.
