even in the 2000's the internet was a lot more social. I miss chat rooms, I've meet some good friends in Chat rooms growing up, and I would love to meet more people! just nobody gets on chatrooms anymore lol
Im 36 now so I as about 13 when I started using AOL, ICQ, The Palace chatrooms. I met my first gf in a chatroom back in 99. She lived just 30 minutes away and we were the same age...I do miss these chatrooms and online forums.
Chat rooms felt fairly anonymous and there was a thrill in the novelty of connecting to people in that way. It also felt fairly niche and somewhat formal to sit at a computer and dial in, whereas now we have instant broadband internet at our fingertips. You really had to work for it back then. The internet now is less anonymous, people are able to build a front facing facade of how they want their life to be perceived by others via social media. Another note: i distinctly remember internet directory books could be bought at bookstores in the 90's with website addresses in them. I miss the old internet in a way. It felt a lot more magical
Nthrilla This is so true and a great way to put it. The internet really was magical back in the day but now it really has lost that sense of magic. How good was MSN/Yahoo!/ICQ messenger? And the Yahoo! chat rooms?
Cloud Floyd Yup. It's boring and the magic is gone. The shows on YT think they're presenting profound new ideas but I heard them 20 years ago. Too many people were awakening to the world through random connections.
i miss the old chat rooms. only actual chats i can find these days are date sites or 'other' chats. would rather just have a chill chat like old school
@Joe Davis I miss the old internet so damn bad! It had a certain life to it. We do have Discord servers with all sort of chart rooms, but the vibe to it is not as... exhilarating
I agree...I miss the anonymity of chat rooms! Those anonymous rooms got me through making the decision to leave an abusive husband...sometimes he would be yelling how stupid i was in one ear while an online chat room was laughing at my jokes and telling me how funny I was...We need that anonymity back!
@@SevenFootPelican Hey that thing is not compulsive (yet). You can make a facebook profile with fake name and picture, it's not like facwebook will take a photo from yopur real id, however there is phone confirmation and registration nowadays.
Kid's these days have it so great technology wise. I was born in 72 and remember seeing the evolution of home consoles, cell phones, internet, computers, renting videos, buying music....while all these are still evolving, i don't think its anywhere as huge a jump in tech like us older folks have seen over the past 30-50 years.
@Chrissy 123 It's like internet shifted it's egalitarian democratic nature to a more centralized way. Back in those days everybody talked to anybody, there where lots of different web pages and forums untill facebook centralized everything. Even google was one of many search indexers. It could have been done a lot better though, like free accesible webhosting and regitrars and irc evolving hand to hand with the world wide web. If just irc evolved for native file sharing and live video we weren't discussing this right now.
Pretty sure chatrooms got taken down because they became overrun with porn bots, I remember something a few years ago that basically said that's why Yahoo got rid of theirs. I miss chatrooms.
Everybody blames the bots, but bots are everywhere. There's lots of spam in email services and yet people insist in keep using it, also there are lot's of scams in the www. I think that the internet of today is a reflex of the world today, people competed that much for exclusiveness that they ended isolated on the bubles of facebook or whatsapp where ypu rarely meet strangers online. Also services like irc got frozen in the past with their cumbersome text based interfaces.
It was definitely a great time to be on the internet. It still amazes me that no successor was able to fill yahoo's void. Even today I believe, done right, a chat room service could thrive. Sometimes all we need is a little random chat with strangers.
Yeah,... it would be really cool to just be able to log in and just randomly chat. I guess the closest thing to a chat room would be reddit or something like that.
I remember the good old late 90's early 00's of AOL chat. There was always that one asshole troll in a room. Me and a couple buds would non-stop troll the troll till they finally left and we considered it a "win"...corny? Yes...but it was fun at the time to annoy the guy trying to annoy the whole room. Others would laugh along or join in and gang up on the troll.
Yahoo chatrooms was fun. I was in the army back then, on the early 2000s. We would be in the barracks joking around on yahoo chat, talking to people from across the country. People would be playing music and acting a damn fool. IRC chat was cool to, and is still around.
Yeah,...that was very common to ask because you couldn't tell by the screen name if you were talking to a man, woman, child, or adult. End up taking a seat on To Catch a Predator....lol
Had the WebTV back in late 90s and used Talk City Chat back then. Good times good memories. Always loved coming home seeing the red light on telling me I had email. IRC chat, Zuh.net, Eff.net and others. Listening to .ram files and playing with HTML.
I was in them religiously. I first started in msn but went to yahoo chat later. They were fun. I don’t care what anyone says. I was in the chat rooms from 2002-2006ish. Never did like aol chat like that though. Even paltalk has fallen off. Use to be thousands of people on there nightly with live rooms. But now it’s about a couple hundred if that.
I know this is old. But in 2006 I used to go on line in chat rooms and just talk about movies or computers or what ever. It was cool just to hang out and talk. But I try to find something like that today and it's all dating sites. I don't want a date.
You had a chat forum where you could choose what room you wanted to join mostly a hobby, interest, obsession, etc. Then you join the group. It was amazing. Then if wanted to talk privately, youd click their name. I'm in your boat. I want to know if that still exists. How do we access it?
Yeah man ,,, I did the chat rooms alot back then ,,,and love the paint ball gun game,, it had on AOL,,, you just made it clear to, ,on how much it has changed !!
I'm with you guys... There is still Paltalk. Very similar to the old yahoo messenger complete with chat rooms and voice chat. I havent been on it in about 2 or 3 years so hopefully its still there lol.
Yahoo chatrooms got dark there towards the end. I remember two groups ended up taking over the room I frequented. One was white hat and the other black hat hackers. There were also a bunch of user created rooms where nasty godawful things happened.
I'm a former Yahoo Chat user.... Theres an App called Cuddle that is kind of like old messenger .. It does have a voice chat feature . Not exactly the same but as close as I've found
Chatrooms were a blast, AOL introduced Virtual places ( Chatroom ) then it was taken over by Excite - it was a lot of fun - people were characters and you never knew what to expect. Yeah it's a drag there are no chatrooms. Sort of like not having Drive Inn outdoor movie theaters - which were a big social event on summer days to watch movies and walk around and meet people. It's all closed in now - it's sad everything that was cool is gone.
I used to love the Hotmail chat rooms. Yahoo was ok too, but I loved the hotmail ones. They were awesome. Some Saturdays I'd spend the entire day on them lol. You could create them and kick people out or ban them.. if you created a room, you were the host with the gold hammer. If you didnt whoever created it could make you a host and youd have a brown hammer. You could kick anyone out but the one with the gold hammer. If you had your own room you could make other people brown hammer hosts too. I miss that shit lol
Dam bro... Flask back to the old days. I use to use the old Yahoo chat rooms. I met a girl from the Philippines and we talked for 12 years. Even after chat rooms were gone. We are married now and living in the Philippines. We laugh about it sometimes .. A/S/L Hahaha
I loved the old chatrooms for some reason it was more personal as it was instant talking back an forth. I had fav rooms I'd visit like veritas but sometimes you would end up in a room you didn't want to be in. I was also barred for 24hrs from some rooms for being annoying lol. I got shot out of a Texas shooters chat room with a computer gun oh an barred. They took the chatrooms down because of pedophiles and predators pretending to be 14 yrs olds. That's how we all connected from school back then oh an the old Nokia phones. So much has changed. I miss those chatroom days 😞
You’re right on buddy I can tell you in the last three weeks I’ve been searching for chat rooms political chat rooms chat rooms on Ukraine chat rooms on the peoples convoy there isn’t any anywhere it’s insane it almost seems like there’s someone blocking them
Also irc never improoved as it did these http cousin that we use with html 5.0 Irc is still version 2 with an upcoming v3 delayed for years and which it's mayor goal seems to be the introduction of avatars. Dude irc v3 should be like discord is with live webcams, file sharing and image displaying on a native way. Also they should introduce native profile information.
@@jamesboone14 I know. I use a game called Eve Online to chat. It's a VERY hard game so you never run into kids and most of the ppl who play it are IT professionals, engineers and the like. If I want to talk to idiots, I use social media. Eve is free to play now so you might try it out if for no other reason than to chat again. I really miss chatting. It was like having an old school conversation with ppl, something else that has completely disappeared from society today. One of the guys killed in Bengazzi was playing Eve when the embassy was attacked. That's the kind of ppl you find there.
Yeah but I hate youtube and Facebook livestreaming where its the one person's channel so He's like the the boss and he gets to talk and all of his minions have to type in the room and a lot of the time the boss is a narcissistic jerk and ignores his minions and just rambles on about how wonderful he is, like he's some kind of God and it just annoys the crap out of me!...ugh. Thats why I loved the AOL chatrooms cuz at least everybody felt like they were equal to one another for the most part!...lol. Google ruined TH-cam by setting livestreaming up this way and also by bringing money into the equation, cuz it has turned casual social networking for fun and meeting new ppl, into money hungry, backbiting sharks who will attack anybody who gets in the way of that. I love content creators that actually do work hard for their subs and viewers and of course their videos are really awesome and they deserve a youtube check, but I geuss I'm addressing the egomaniacs who get on here and livesream nite and day and do nothing but gossip and rant about other drama lovin channels while viewers are giving them tip money while still in the stream! It reminds me of a strip club where the guys are stuffing bills in the dancers g-string while yelling out for her to shake that ass more!!! Lmaoooo Omg these ppl are making it rain in the fricken youtubers rooms now for God's sakes!!! That totally sucks big time! What I wouldn't give to be able to access the AOL chatrooms on my fricken android tablet! Awwwwww the good old days...lol
Wow,... great point! You're right. TH-cam is very money driven and that does ruin the genuine goodness of it all. I mean...I understand that it is a business but you can definitely tell when the content creators are just doing stuff for views. The first couple of times ...its ok, but when it becomes business as usual for every video it just kills the creativity. There are a lot of copy cat channels as well. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. If you find a good chat room, send me an invite!
@@jamesboone14 .....Good morning James thank you for the love you sent and I really appreciate you taking the time to actually respond to my post. You my friend are a rare breed when it comes to caring enough to take the time to read your viewers comments and not only that but being kind and appreciative of us also. I'm telling you if you keep treating your viewers like you do, you are going to piss off your fellow content creators cuz I know your channel will continue to grow, leaving them to eat your dust! They hate youtubers like you that show your viewers and your subs love and respect, cuz a lot of content creators are only here to to get a payday and giving a shit about the ppl who watch them???, well they ain't got time for all that you hear me?????...ugh. Tsk Tsk Tsk shame on them all for being so grubby I swear! Thank you again for showin love and I'm now a new sub who looks forward to seeing more of your content and of course I also can't wait for the opportunity to meet your other subbies and share postings in the comment section with them as well. I hope you and your supporters have a blessed day and here's sending you 💙 each and everyday! Hugs to everyone! Take Care my friend and trust me I'm trying to figure out how i can get my AOL community back, using my android, because I'm not going back to using windows when you can't even get any apps for your devices for windows hardly. I was told app builders were tired of wasting their time with them cuz there's no longer the demand for them like there used to be. If I find any old time chatrooms like the AOL ones you will be the first to know I promise you...here's to finding them, cuz ya know they're now on the endangered species list! Hehehehe. Please just wish me luck ok. Lmao
Brother James, I am currently doing research for a brand new SMP which aims to take it back to the old school in the theme... What would you like to see for a modern chatroom?
They say all black people look a like but we legit look like brothers. i agree the social aspect of the online experience has changed. It's so voyeuristic now. Remember Black Planet? I had whole-ass relationships on there.
I met a lot of girls in the chats back in the day. Most were real and would send me pictures in the mail! This was 99-03 for me. about 04 age 16 I had a girlfriend and we went separate paths in life in 06. she ended up marrying a guy she met in the chats when she was 15 and moved to TX.
There used to be the latest comment on TH-cam It was just a blank page with comments that kept popping up once somebody posted them I used to go there and be able to find some great videos just from the newest comments In fact yt used to have newest videos you could click on they don't have that anymore They used to have least amount of view videos to most popular videos They don't have that anymore they only got popular or trending
Yeah, what really happened to chat rooms? The concept is, correction was, great! Ex. The George Floyd tragedy, a live stream of comments reflecting people's thoughts and emotions. Obviously, there will be extremes in terms of solutions, views, etc. But as I recall, there was always the ability to zone in on a particular comment on have actual, well thought out, dialogue whether you agreed with another person's views or not. We talked, and anyone was free to join in, support a view, dispute a view, it was all there! I miss it..damn
Now that you’re talking about this maybe this is something that you can do and set up there’s no competition if you do it on TH-cam maybe you can make money I will definitely be one of the first people to join if you find something please post it I’m going to join your community thank you
I'm pretty sure they are, those were good times indeed! I used to go into this one chatroom on AOL called "Guess Movie By Plot"... Man, that was a fun chatroom!
I just recently found out about discord. I was introduced to it through a game on xbox that I play to coordinate gaming strategies. Is there a live chat room?
Remember icq? It's white pages was awsome. It worked like facebook search but way more precise, searche by gender age, and location just for a start. Internet happenned two receive two mayour inyections that made it more like real world: money and sex, and those spoiled it a little. Those dayse there wasnt cam streaming or avatars and the most sexual you could get was dirty talk with a stranger but now a days it's like genital examination. And with money there came big companies to their bissiness with their closed source services centralizing everithing and balkanizing it's users inside their growing fewd. That's how we stopped staring each other to stare great piramyds.
hey bro,i had WEBTV back then used to goto Talkcity chatrooms,had MSN messenger,remember WEBTV had newsgroups..haa there was some dudes had porn newsgroups,WEBTV was nice for surfing for porn,the virus protection was built into the system and it was free!!!
I tried using discord a couple of years ago to meet up with other gamers. I was playing a spaces based adventure game called Elite Dangerous and it was suggested to "join my discord" for more information. I didn't really get the "classic chat room vibe" from discord. It just seemed lot more congested with useless "go here" and "go there" for more information. It seemed more like a forum than a chatroom.
Nostalgia g! I did once meet (and fall in love with) a guy named mookie who was abducted by aliens and subsequently had the live fetus shown to him in another abduction....god I was was young
i haven't heard of IRC in forever! My friend and I used to go to the library back in the day and log on to the internet with their catalog computers...the librarians didn't even know what the internet was and were baffled why we were spending so much time on them...yeah I'm from a small town!!
even in the 2000's the internet was a lot more social. I miss chat rooms, I've meet some good friends in Chat rooms growing up, and I would love to meet more people! just nobody gets on chatrooms anymore lol
Nova V000 This is true, back then it really felt like everyone wanted to connect with one another but now it's not like that at all.
Discord not count?
SailorSaturn more room for chating unlike Facebook accept a bit lonely at times waiting sometimes especially being younger and impatient lol
Its how I met my wife still together today with 2 boys😀
I loved them could pick any topic or country and be there with people that were fun.

It also felt fairly niche and somewhat formal to sit at a computer and dial in, whereas now we have instant broadband internet at our fingertips. You really had to work for it back then.

I mean...I understand that it is a business but you can definitely tell when the content creators are just doing stuff for views. The first couple of times ...its ok, but when it becomes business as usual for every video it just kills the creativity. There are a lot of copy cat channels as well. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. If you find a good chat room, send me an invite!
@@jamesboone14 .....Good morning James thank you for the love you sent and I really appreciate you taking the time to actually respond to my post. You my friend are a rare breed when it comes to caring enough to take the time to read your viewers comments and not only that but being kind and appreciative of us also. I'm telling you if you keep treating your viewers like you do, you are going to piss off your fellow content creators cuz I know your channel will continue to grow, leaving them to eat your dust! They hate youtubers like you that show your viewers and your subs love and respect, cuz a lot of content creators are only here to to get a payday and giving a shit about the ppl who watch them???, well they ain't got time for all that you hear me?????...ugh. Tsk Tsk Tsk shame on them all for being so grubby I swear!
Thank you again for showin love and I'm now a new sub who looks forward to seeing more of your content and of course I also can't wait for the opportunity to meet your other subbies and share postings in the comment section with them as well.
I hope you and your supporters have a blessed day and here's sending you 💙 each and everyday! Hugs to everyone!
Take Care my friend and trust me I'm trying to figure out how i can get my AOL community back, using my android, because I'm not going back to using windows when you can't even get any apps for your devices for windows hardly. I was told app builders were tired of wasting their time with them cuz there's no longer the demand for them like there used to be. If I find any old time chatrooms like the AOL ones you will be the first to know I promise you...here's to finding them, cuz ya know they're now on the endangered species list! Hehehehe. Please just wish me luck ok. Lmao
Hey there! How's it going? I really do appreciate the comments. Did you find any good chat rooms yet?
Brother James, I am currently doing research for a brand new SMP which aims to take it back to the old school in the theme... What would you like to see for a modern chatroom?
I'm not familiar with SMP.
@@jamesboone14 social media platform
Oh...ah!.. ok.
@@jamesboone14 let us know... I found your video and resonated with it.. who knows as we are currently building and looking for opinions!
They say all black people look a like but we legit look like brothers. i agree the social aspect of the online experience has changed. It's so voyeuristic now. Remember Black Planet? I had whole-ass relationships on there.
I remember Black Planet.... that's og internet right there...lol
I met a lot of girls in the chats back in the day. Most were real and would send me pictures in the mail! This was 99-03 for me. about 04 age 16 I had a girlfriend and we went separate paths in life in 06. she ended up marrying a guy she met in the chats when she was 15 and moved to TX.
James you are a good speaker. Keep doing what you do.
I was always on compuserve or yahoo chat, good times
There used to be the latest comment on TH-cam
It was just a blank page with comments that kept popping up once somebody posted them
I used to go there and be able to find some great videos just from the newest comments
In fact yt used to have newest videos you could click on they don't have that anymore
They used to have least amount of view videos to most popular videos
They don't have that anymore they only got popular or trending
Loud pipes save lives
I miss the different topics in the chat rooms. I enjoyed debating in the religion chat rooms on yahoo chat.
life was better and more relaxing back then.. the modern day internet and social media has really rewired humans brains and behavior...
I remember those days lol
I remember bout that part we
Purchases phone at the same time and the what u sa

Yeah, what really happened to chat rooms? The concept is, correction was, great! Ex. The George Floyd tragedy, a live stream of comments reflecting people's thoughts and emotions. Obviously, there will be extremes in terms of solutions, views, etc. But as I recall, there was always the ability to zone in on a particular comment on have actual, well thought out, dialogue whether you agreed with another person's views or not. We talked, and anyone was free to join in, support a view, dispute a view, it was all there! I miss it..damn
I miss that.
WE ALL IN PALTALK CHATROOMS ARE JUST LIKE YAHOO CHAT JOIN UP
One thing that has changed is that it’s a crime to do what you are doing right now as thousands are dying because of distracted driving!
I was on the married chat room lol
There are still many chat rooms just have to dig a little
Now that you’re talking about this maybe this is something that you can do and set up there’s no competition if you do it on TH-cam maybe you can make money I will definitely be one of the first people to join if you find something please post it I’m going to join your community thank you
But 2013 I'll do anything to go back. Heck 2007 please that i do
IRC and discord is the new AIM and AOL.
Hassan campbell called you out to a boxing match on his last livestream
Did you end up finding anything?
Is that a FlexFit hat, bro?
+Nester Yeah ..it's FlexFit.
Nice, I thought so!
are aol chat rooms dead?
I'm pretty sure they are, those were good times indeed! I used to go into this one chatroom on AOL called "Guess Movie By Plot"... Man, that was a fun chatroom!
Yes
Yahoo chat room were the best
It's called discord, look it up.
I just recently found out about discord. I was introduced to it through a game on xbox that I play to coordinate gaming strategies. Is there a live chat room?
Remember icq? It's white pages was awsome. It worked like facebook search but way more precise, searche by gender age, and location just for a start. Internet happenned two receive two mayour inyections that made it more like real world: money and sex, and those spoiled it a little. Those dayse there wasnt cam streaming or avatars and the most sexual you could get was dirty talk with a stranger but now a days it's like genital examination. And with money there came big companies to their bissiness with their closed source services centralizing everithing and balkanizing it's users inside their growing fewd. That's how we stopped staring each other to stare great piramyds.
Anyone remember Buzzchat? Lol
I’m looking for those
I've wondered the same thing!
I still use America online
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Wire club a good chat site
Chatavenue chat rooms are good
Yeah if you looking for sex, its not real chat.
hey bro,i had WEBTV back then used to goto Talkcity chatrooms,had MSN messenger,remember WEBTV had newsgroups..haa there was some dudes had porn newsgroups,WEBTV was nice for surfing for porn,the virus protection was built into the system and it was free!!!
Ever use discord? It lives in you
I tried using discord a couple of years ago to meet up with other gamers. I was playing a spaces based adventure game called Elite Dangerous and it was suggested to "join my discord" for more information. I didn't really get the "classic chat room vibe" from discord. It just seemed lot more congested with useless "go here" and "go there" for more information.
It seemed more like a forum than a chatroom.
Follow up thought... with all of the congestion and confusion... it's no wonder why "discord" is a good name for it.
If you are open for an interview regarding this topic:
I invite you to connect via IG: @rickraywooooo

Maybe what you're looking for is on 4chan or deep Web 🤷

Try IRC (Internet relay Chat)
i haven't heard of IRC in forever! My friend and I used to go to the library back in the day and log on to the internet with their catalog computers...the librarians didn't even know what the internet was and were baffled why we were spending so much time on them...yeah I'm from a small town!!
