Who else hates online chat rooms? Why do you?

I don’t like them for talking to more than one person since it gets confusing and annoying quickly.

I like them.

People not in high school still use chat rooms? Lol. I’m not a fan anymore for multiple reasons.

Not into them for the same reasons as yours.

I’m just not wired right to track things that way, I get a headache. Sometimes even the fast and furious threads make me nuts, chat is just way out of my skill set.

I mean, I used to like them. Now I don’t really use them. I also have a hard time jumping into the conversation. I’ve tried using the chat here so many times, but I never have anything to say.

I can’t keep up. They move too fast approaching disingenuous conversation. My mind isn’t wired that way. And I abhor disingenuous conversation.

Whenever I go there to see what’s going on, (bored), they are members I have never seen before.

It’s like people are talking across one another. It is hard to follow the conversation. I feel weird interrupting an established conversation.

Too many pervs and all you ever see is ASL?!??!!!?111!??

@marinelife exactly.

what is ASL?

I don’t hate them, but I don’t like them either. I’m not online long enough at any given time to get involved in a conversation. That’s why I stay offline when I spend time on Facebook. I’ve got too many things going on to sit and chat with someone online. I prefer private messages.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies – age, sex, and location.

ohew

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Yeah, it’s a way to streamline finding applicants for molestation lol.

That’s on THIS site’s chatroom?

Don’t like ‘em, never use them, too confusing, too much noise to signal.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I haven’t been on the chat rooms here, but I doubt it. I’m talking about yahoo chatrooms or something like that.

I don’t frequent chatrooms, but I do use Windows Live Messenger and often am involved in larger, 10+ people group chats. I don’t find it hard to keep up with at all as long as I’m on a computer, I can usually keep up with quick or multiple conversations at once.

I do enjoy chatrooms. I’ve met many great long-term friends through chat_avenue and I like getting to know some jellies better in the Fluther rooms (when they’re active.)

I’m with @bob_ . I like em’ too.

I once had a couple beers with Vunessuh on the fluther chatroom. That was pretty fun. Since I was drinking, it felt like I was at a party. Just a nerdy one where I’m typing in front of a computer instead of talking in person.

I think I could like a drunken chat room. That sounds better.

Maybe we should make a schedule.

@cockswain that’s a fun idea.

It is fun. I often meet a bunch of regulars for drunken Thursday at The Watering Hole

Now, I’d be down for a drunken chat room :)

I don’t hate them. But I went on a Fluther chat room one time, and I could not figure out who was talking to whom! Certainly not to me. I gave up and left. But I am sure they are a great outlet for some.

I don’t mind them at all. Don’t use them very often these days except the times when I find some of the loveliest jellies in the Fluther chat room and get to play with them for a little while.

I don’t hate em, just view tw@ rooms as unworthy of my attention.

Come try fluther chat now, if you’d like.

I hate them. Even with people I know and like, they make me nervous. Too fast-paced, usually a lack of real conversation, and they just stress me out.
