How to start chatting

26 Jul 2006

Hi, been a member for a few days now, been looking on the chat rooms, and said hi to everybody a few times, but nobody seems to answer, so we were wondering the best why to approach other members? and is there somewhere where we could find out the meaning of the abbrivations members use. Thanks J and D ;)

Hi guys, I started in the chatroom about a month ago. Like yourselves, found it difficult to get started as a lot of people already knew each other, however, I persevered. Trick is to watch the thread of conversations, when you have something to contribute, do so. When entering the room say hi and you should get a few replies. Don't be afraid to start new conversations. When leaving teh room, say bye... Another tip I have is to watch the web cams and comment (nicely of course) and what they're up to or ask away... If you don't get a reply, the most logical answer is that those already in the room are already involved with 1, 2, 3 or more conversations and as it generally helps to keep an eye on the handle you're conversing with it is easy to miss questions or comments aimed at oneself, so don't feel ignored, it's not done on purpose. Over time as your handle becomes more familiar you will see it becomes easier to chat. By the way, do you have a webcam? With one on you, you can well find people flocking towards you. For the Emicons... well, go to the 'Anything goes' forum and look for 'New Chatroom Emiticons' copy & paste them to Word so you may have them at your disposal. Happy chatting & Enjoy xXXx

:clap: Wow Surreyite you go for it babe. No honestly guys Surreyite is perfectly correct. I am a regular in the chat room but I too found it hard going when I first started entering the chat room way back in August last year. I for one always say hello to people but I do sometimes have 3 or more conversations going on so if I do miss your entrance into the room it isn't cos I am ignorant it's cos there are so many in the chat room. As surreyite says try including yourselves in a conversation that interests you and bring some humour into the chat room lots of us in the chat room love a good laugh and welcome new people with open arms.
