Old School Chat Rooms

[Deadd2009]

Who here remembers the days of AOL chat rooms, AIM and other chats as such? If you're not aware, they were basically how Discord is now, except a lot more trolling and people trying to hook up lol. I still have friends that I talk to on occasion from those even to this day.

I’m too young for this.

It was ICQ and Yahoo Chats first for me before going into AIM.

Those were the days.

MSN Messenger was another but didn't use it quite as much.

I've got pretty fond memories of MSN Messenger. Some bad, cringeworthy ones too, but that was all part of the charm In many ways, that site helped me to grow my confidence as a person and make friends in School. So I would have been quite lost without it, I feel. For the longest time, I didn't really fit in outside of a select few friends. It was a pretty sad day when it closed down, I had a lot of people I had met through it.

You know what's amazing is some of those chatrooms are still around. At least the more public ones have been saved onto databases.

Yahoo! Chat was nothing but perverts from what I remember.

I made a number of friends in one of the wrestling chat rooms on Yahoo back then. I also used MSN messenger quite a bit as well with some friends I had made on the first wrestling forum I had joined, and I’m still friends and speak those people to this day so for that I’m thankful.

Good times for sure.

AOL chat was the same way. As soon as you entered a room you had someone IMing you asking ASL?

I think one of my first chat rooms was the wwf official chat on their website.

as far as messengers everyone in my school had MSN messenger for some reason so that's what I had. I never really done much chatting with strangers except trolling on wwf chat and msn gaming zone and even then nobody really talked we just played checkers.
