Hello, my name is Derek. I want to post about public chatrooms. I think it's interesting, I've been using them and taking part off and on since 1998 with Microsoft's approach of allowing people to use chatrooms. What interests me and also doesn't gel with me is the demise of the Microsoft chatrooms in 2003. This is mainly due to paedophiles who use the chatrooms (Source: BBC News) or scammers and stuff like that for Microsoft to shut their chat service down.
I actually miss using public chatrooms because it was fun sitting down waiting for someone who I really don't like and finding ways to sort that person out and telling the entire room why that individual is a twat. It doesn't means that it doesn't happen to me. It happened to me as well and I had to put up to it and I'm had my thrills. I've had my fun and settled down.
Having to sit down here and too wait for the very people who've bought chatrooms to the mainstream (Microsoft) to do something to say that public chatrooms while I see people make choices which don't last from time to time, maybe it's fun for a bit but after a while, it doesn't last and people just become bored and chatrooms don't last. Games doesn't help as well. Maybe.
I'm sure people and users still enjoy chatrooms, I'm not going to recommend any because I do think it defeats the choice people make when visiting a chatroom and considering that Google is there. I'm actually been in one or two very terrible chatrooms that were mistakenly put on top of the Google search engines and later bumped off which have left community stranded. It's not Google's fault but it's worth drawing up because it's worth pointing out that it's to know that Google are still human. (Trying my best not to suck up to Google on Blogger). I still use a chatroom and doing what I want really and taking the opportunity to make the out of chat as chatrooms do close down from time to time and make the best out of it.
It doesn't mean I'm very annoyed at these chatrooms trying to show off how amazing chats are, it's always best to complain about the source of this frustration I have and that is the Microsoft's web department, who thought putting chatrooms to the mainstream computers was good enough to be closed down back in 2003 and are probably running and hiding with the MSN Network crew as they are popular and having to show them how amazing chatrooms are.
