Just stumbled upon this forum. Let me get something straight first: Are we members all logged...

I've read all the comments and think that some of you have never experienced a chat room, which is much like being in an arena (or on stage) with a live audience of those present in the room--all listed alongside--everyone a mix, part interested commenters and kibitzers, part cheering section if the room accommodates camming. The room's dialog streams within the room for all to view. If you haven't entered the room, there are no notifications of what's happening inside them. You don't "belong" to a room if you're not in it at the time.

What we have here seems to be a forum of forums, some having to do with discussing the old chat room life, others unrelated to chat rooms. I don't think SW has the means (or the motive) to accommodate true chat rooms, so it seems more appropriate that this forum named Adult Chat Rooms should be designated for reminiscing about the times of such sites as Yahoo Chat (or for discussion about current ones I don't know about.)

It's not like a giant chat room to me. More like you comment when you can and have 1 to 1 in the messages

In a live chat, when there are too many people, it is impossible to have a conversation as the text scrolls past too fast and there is no context.
In here, you can read the question, and take your time to answer. Much better, more fun, way more interesting.
If you find someone with an interesting comment, or something you agree with, you can friend them and have sideline conversations, also fun. It is also possible to discover the person is a pervert, or weirdo, or Trump lover and block them.
