General Chat

I have already thanked Paul for his post on here but as the thread has come back to page 1, I have one comment I would like to make.... Christine.... How many times was it you looked into Chat...oh, yes, 'one quick look' well, perhaps you should have peeked in this morning; you would have noticed that, strange as it may seem, they were actually talking about genealogy!!!! To my knowledge the vast majority of people who use chat are caring, friendly and very helpful people. Chat is a useful place to go to do exactly that chat....as Sue C says to chill out after work or just to have someone to talk to. Take a look one day at some threads on General you will find the occasional monosyllabic word conversations going on there, it happens.....If you don't use I do not see the problem. Jacquie xxxxx

i use the chat room nearly every night and have made some really good friends in there, there is always a friendly welcome for anyone who wants to join in. admittedly the conversations do get a bit silly sometimes but to me that is the whole point. i come in the chat room at the end of a hard day knowing i will leave with a smile on my face, the people on there have cheered me up countless times and are always there to help if you need advice, the 'person' who caused all the trouble last night is by no means typical of the friendly lively, sometimes nutty people that frequent the room, i would be lost without my chill out times there, so to those of you who have seen fit to knock us let me invite you to join us and then maybe we can change your opinion.

Well hi everyone Im JoJo lol I have used chat for months and months now, an oldie on there you might say and I can honestly say to my knowledge it is extremely rare to have last nights goings on on chat. We are a friendly bunch on there, i've meet some lovely people on there who have become my friends. PAUL glad you retracted the moron bit, I wasn't happy with that, thought we were old friends lol I see arguments all the time on GT board and ignore them as I think life is too short for all that. I wasn't on there when all this went on last night but looked back and looks like this stephen guy just wanted to cause problems. The rest of the people on there Nick, Adam, Viv etc are lovely people they do not go around shouting abuse at people. I've had some good laughs on chat with old and new people and hope it continues Regards JoJo xxx

just nipping in to say HI to Trish!!!!! I agree about the chat board though, I used to use it daily. A day chat would take up all 20 pages back then as it was so busy. I looked a while ago and the 20 pages covered three days!!! So i guess a lot of peeps aren't using the chat board so much. Having only been on there twice ( I think) in past yr ( both times to say hi to people I knew) I can't comment on the people who use it.

hi paul, the offenders were duly kicked off site so it wasnt ignored. unfortunately i feel drink gets the better of people sometimes.

Must admit I've given up even looking at 'chat', it used to be great and we had some good laughs. Only reply to a few threads on this board now, so a BIG hello to all my old mates out there - hope you're all doing OK.

thanks jules .i love the chat board .nice people on there.i will continue to use chat and long may it reignxxxxxx(:

Lisa....you speak for many of us...Good to see you around again.. :)

how many people use chat???.i for one go on there on a friday night and have met some really lovely people on there.i wasn't on last nite so cannot comment on the event but have never had any problems on there and have met some really nice people.o would miss it if it was taken offxxxxxx(:

like on here sometimes paul!!Lol LOlxxxxxx(:

Lisa, As I said before, it wasn't filth as such, it was just stupid juvenille behaviour - name calling, swearing, threats - you know the sort of thing I mean. Paul

paul that is probebly why you have to be 18 on the boards.i have been on chat on a friday and we have quite a laugh.when has the filth appeared on the chat board was it last night????xxxxx(:

Christine.... Most of us use the chat board to communicate with our friends as do the nice people on these boards. If you haven't looked in for 6mths then you've missed alot of friendly & nice people who talk about day to day life...sometimes rubbish but most of all friendly & respectful conversations. We happened to have an odd night last night...thats life... but that doesn't mean the chat room is run down place that needs demolishing...i dont think so anyway. :)

Hi Paul... Thats very good of you to say that.. last thing we wanted was to be seen as any of the things you mention.. Just happens that we all got a bite of the 'bad apple' last night...wasn't very nice i must admit. Have a good day mate. :)

Oops, seems my works have offended, which I assure you wasn't the intention, so to Jacqui and Jules and any other sane people that use the chat board, I do apologise. Obviously I was generalizing wildly, and clearly not everyone who uses chat is a moron !! I know lots of nice people from here use it, people I've talked to in the past like Jo, Jill, Trish, Zoe, Mike etc... I do however standby my comments with regard to what was going on in there last night - idiotic, juvenile behaviour, which hopefully, as someone mentioned, GR have already resolved. Paul

lol jacq- am feeling guilty ! am i the only one who enjoyed last night, pmsl !

Thanks Sue..... Glad you got some sleep....eventually.... Jacquie xxx

morning... er afternoon, tee hee ! you lot have a lot to answer for- keeping me up till the small hours ! i was too tired to get up this morning, and had to miss a visit to the m-i-l !!! pmsl ! cheers peeps. sue [who knows there was only one nastie on chat last night, lol]

Honey....easier said than done when they start mailing ppl direct...do we just leave the poor girl to put up with it on her own...???...No her friends wouldn't do that!!

Jeanette...I am calm now after a good night's sleep but at the time I was very upset by the remarks on this thread... As Viv has said don't Tar everyone with the same brush.... We go on chat for a laugh sometimes to relieve the stress.. This was a one off....he is now gone! I have made some good friends on chat and I can assure everyone here that they are not morons! Enough said..... Everyone happy.....you bet you're life we are...... Jacquie xxxx
