Where Do You Chat?
July 24, 2009 by lunaKM []
I’d like to provide a chat night on a specific topic once a week but the chat room I have on the website really is lacking in capabilities. So, I’d like to know from you the best places to hold a chat night. I used to be a regular user of IRC, I’ve found tweetchat.com to be interesting. There is also twibes.com where I now have a group there where we could chat. I also know of independent applications that I could install on SubmissiveGuide and host chat right here on the site.
Where do you chat? Are you a twitter chat fan? Perhaps you use IRC? Another chat client somewhere? What’s your chat stomping ground?
To help me with this, I need to know where you chat and any details if necessary about how to connect to it (URL, IRC servername/channel). I’d prefer to use a free service than have people pay to chat so it can’t be somewhere you have to pay to belong.
I want to start chat night in August, so please help me out. Let me know where a good place to chat would be and I’d love to know if you’d be interested in attending!
Thanks,
–lunaKM

My name is lunaKM and I’m a full-time submissive in a D/s relationship. I am webslut to
I know the perfect place – people would have to sign up for the site, but it is free.
http://www.bdsmlibrary.com
They have a chat room there that is ONLY available when you are a member. The chat room is set up so that you can create your own room, under whatever name you would like. And I have never had my computer crash while in that chat room, unlike other sites.
I’m voting no for the BDSM Library. It’s widely porn based. I’m not going to invite the readers of this blog to a site where SEX is obvious. It’s just not the welcoming atmosphere I want to create.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
Hmmm, you are right – they do have a lot of porn advertisements there.
chatango, is good, you can create whatever you want on it, also you could create a chat group on yahoo chat.

are you talking about voice chat or messenger/typed type chat?
Either one could make a difference.
I know that when I was playing some MMORPG’s we used to use a free voice-chat service called Ventrilo – you can download it from http://www.ventrilo.com, and once it is all set up anyone can sign in and chat providing they have speakers/headset and a mic and know the port and password etc.
This is real time voice chat btw with multiple people being able to chat at once – we used to have around 20 people or more using it at any one time.
Can’t help on a useful chatroom however.
welllll…..the only place i ever chat (which is rare) is on collarme.com, but there are a lot of porn ads there too. i just minimize my screen so only the chat box is visible. i get your updates every day, even tho i rarely comment. Depending on what time/day you set up the chats, i’d be interested in being there.
Has anyone used gmail’s chat function yet? I haven’t had the chance so I don’t know if it’s kludgy or not.
I vote for web-based, nothing you have to install because there are too many programmers that don’t include a Mac client. :-(
As to what I use, iChat and Yahoo (via Adium)
Gmail’s chat function (GTalk) is like any other chat client like Yahoo or AIM. It’s not built for group chat. I agree that web-based is the way to go so that no one has to install anything else on their system.
