@ravenwind43 Those IRC servers can be accessed by using clients like mIRC, Kwirc, androirc and few others

Talk about a trip down memory lane. Feels like a few lifetimes ago

I do, and then yahoo became the red headed stepchild of Google, and never fought to regain its prominence.

My first internet connection at home was a WebTV. It was easy to maneuver, no risk of getting viruses, and I could use it as many hours as I wanted each month without having any overcharges. One of the neat features was chat rooms on a variety of topics and some just social chat rooms. They also had many topics of message boards that were interesting and fun to use. Having conversations with so many others at the same time was kind of fun at times.

I met my now x wife on yahoo.
I made friends via yahoo, and when it went down, I lost touch with a lot of people.
NeoNeo · 46-50, M

I liked chat rooms. I'd still do it if I could.
Heartlander · 80-89, M
I remember Yahoo Group chat rooms. They were great until spam destroyed them. Also AOL chat rooms were a big success.

I belonged to a few on various topics. I remember the ones on the computer programs like Windows and the various Office products. Those chat groups were great for getting instant advice. Even big shots from Microsoft and Apple participated.

No I'm too young for this post.

I didn't know those existed 😅
needsmilk808 · 56-60, M
Yup, those were the good old days lol
Arorin · M
Never used a chatroom
pdockal · 56-60, M
Heartlander · 80-89, M
Yes! AOL and Yahoo had chat rooms and groups full of lively chit chat about anything and everything under the sun. Before that, there was CompuServe and local bulletin boards. Since they were mostly modem connections it was mostly all text.

I think most of it was destroyed by spam and advertisement, and it looks like spam is going to destroy e-mail. All the important e-mail I receive is now buried in a mountain of junk mail.
TravisTx · M
Yeah, I used to mess around in those old yahoo and aol chat rooms. I started chatting before I even knew how to type, yet! Haha!
DViper97 · 51-55, M
I do remember using them and would love to find something similar. Hard to find people willing to chat anymore.
I remember the world's biggest chat... I think that is still going - though I don't use it anymore.
in10RjFox · M
yes.. but I didn't find it good as I was more into IRC & SKYPE (until it had the search feature)
olderuncle944 · 70-79, M
Yes I loved the chat rooms met several people in person from them .
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
I remember even older ones.
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
I heard of them but never used them.
WormMan · 56-60, M
I remember. I used them all the time
needsmilk808 · 56-60, M
Yup, good times 🙂
AstroZombie · 36-40, M
Actually, yes.
TravisTx · M
Oh yes! I remember the old yahoo chat rooms. I first charted chatting using the aol chat rooms. Hell, I couldn’t even hardly type back in those days. Had a lot of fun chatting though!
I even remember msn groups
Im old too 😌
familyfunguy · 56-60, M
