How are you all then?! i prefer the forums then to chat theres a better chance of reading everything said! Sooo.... how are you all tonight!!! (though i like forums more i'll still chat like it's interactive!)
All good here fella thanks - the chatrooms are very hard to break into for some likewise the forums for others. Its just a case of plugging away at it - good luck mate
did someone say something??
The chat rooms are full of cliques and white knights.... I really can't be bothered to try and work my way into them.
The forums are the best place to get yourself know imo
Sorry, back to topic: I found chat quite a scary place at first. Mind you, I didn't post in the forums for a good while either. I went through a period about 18 months ago where I kinda felt I'd broken into the whole chatroom thing - it took a while and basically I focused my attention on one room and slowly got to know people, joined in chat, suffered a bit of ignoring at first and then kinda became part of the furniture.
After a few friends left the site it wasn't the same, so I've not been in there much of late.
Defo takes perseverance though.
Nola x
p.s. Subjectme, always cool to see new folk posting in the forum though - so get stuck in!
I always find you need to concentrate with chatrooms ... forums you can dive right into.
QED :P
Chat rooms aren't the easiest of places to break into. The occupants have been there some time and know each other well enough to exchange insulting humourous banter. It's rather like landing in some out of way place and joining the locals in the pub. It can be daunting.
Recently the banter in rooms does seem to have faded somewhat and I'm at a loss to explain why. Others I have spoken to report the same.
Hence I'm here posting in the forum. It's a place I can say my bit, and enter into a disscusion, which I can follow at my own pace. The chat can go too fast sometimes and I loose my thread. I can only type slowly.
In the meantime Subjectme carry on where you feel most comfortable.
I went into chat a few weeks back, had a visit to a popular room, said hi, no one acknowledged me, made a comment about visiting from the forums, no one acknowledged me.
There were at least 3 names I recognised and 2 I've met and spoke to! Then I had one of the regulars acknowledge me in pm/whisper!
I won't be going back! If a "known" site regular gets ignored I have huge symathies for "unknown" newbies!!
Maybe it is time for a forum chat room? :P
Who normally opens it?
At the risk of going off on a nostalgia trip I haven't enjoyed the chat rooms for a while so I haven't used them much.
All new communities are difficult to adapt to and settle into. Patience and perseverance are my only words of advice.
Alas, I must agree with the opening post...
It can be very hard to hold a conversation in a chatroom.
As ironic as it seems, they are usually the last place to find intelligent, flirtacious (not sexual) banter.
I also noticed a couple of folks mention the White Knights. This too is becoming a tedious phenomenon. Attractive ladies are always welcome, but the assumption that all they say and do is 'right' is a quite incorrect one.
Cliques are a natural occurrence in chatrooms. I don't much like them, but they are understandable. However, it's all too easy for forget what it's like to be new.
Welcome to the forums then... and best of luck with your quests (whatever they may be!).
I go in the TV/bi/gay rooms and must admit, find them friendly.
Hello all
I used to use the chatrooms alot, mostly the Bristol Room. With a profile name like mine its a little bit more difficult to stay hovering in the shadows, so I didnt hover for long and soon got chatting.
Lots of fun, happy people, a few irritations but I am not averse to ignorning whispers if they are rude.
I popped into Bristol room the other day and there are lots of new faces and few of the old ones that I remember.
Straight away came the "Mistress hello, where you been?" etc. and it felt so nice to have been missed.
(My other half had a bad accident and we have been absent from chat for a long while)
My experience is good. Thanks to all those who make the effort in chat and to those who waggle their bits and pieces on cam, thanks to you too. I always love a good waggler.
Keep on chatting/camming.
