I really enjoyed roleplaying (not to get off so you know...I just find it fun) in the yahoo chatrooms with the user made rooms, when bots were just occasional. Now, with the user rooms gone, it takes me forever to find anyone worth while talking to...so, is there any place online that I can go to roleplay at or am I stuck with yahoo chat for now?

go to freecreed.com and download other yahoo chat programs...they work with yahoo messenger and you get no bots

EXCELLENT Question!!!!\n\nI stopped chatting in yahoo rooms long ago because of that. It really sucks. On Y!A you cant call a rooster a c0ck without it being edited or deleted but you have porn ads and bots all over every chat room! Obvious where yahoo decided to spend their money, yes?

Hello ... this is a questions and answers forum.  If you are looking for on-line friends, I would suggest checking into chat sites or something like that.

It is not intended to be a chat room at all, nor does it follow a similar format.\n\nA chat room offers a way for people to interact real time.  Mostly about nonsense, sometimes about something in particular.  Again, people are communicating real time, back and forth.\n\nYahoo! Answers offers people a way to ask a question, and solicit feedback from other participants.  It is not real time, and there is little immediate interaction.  It is not intended to be used as a method of direct communication---It is meant to pose questions and share answers.\n\nAs mentioned in Yahoo's own description, the topics can be from the silly to the serious, just like a chat room, but it's not a way to communicate like a chat room.

do NOT try to meet ppl in chatrooms.  there are a bunch of freaks and porn bots in there.\ntry dating sites such as yahoo personals, match,com, e-harmony.\nbe very careful. there are some ppl who post pics when they were much younger or they lie about their profile.\notherwise they all seem like so cool place to find a partner.\n\ngood luck!!!

There are a lot of "bots" in chat rooms now a days...where someones "id" is sent into rooms to solicite buisness.  They will usually say "hi room" then something like "anyone want to come see my naked pictures" and they add the URL.  Also, some people have become chat voyers, where they just like to watch.  Or, maybe people are just shy and are waiting for a topic with which they are familiar.

LMFAO!!! Yahoo's claiming to be upgrading the Chat rooms & features on Groups.  I don't miss it as I rarely went into one for the same reasons.  I've stuck to chatting on Yahoo's messenger & my AIM messenger.

I totally agree not only do chat rooms have people trying to make money but there is also dangerous people in the chat rooms . I'm now in home school and there isn't a lot of people in my neighborhood to talk to. It's a very quiet area . why you ask? oh and do you have instant messenger if so you could problem e-mail me at rock.star53 or IM me looking forward bye.

well...perhaps you're entering the wrong place, I think those invitation only exists on adult channel. different in MIRC chat, the one who invites you to their's cams are probably an auto BOT. They're try to make money with this cheap way!!

Boy do I hear you!  I used to use the chat rooms alot back in the beginning of my computer useage, but it became such a hassle to sort thru who was for real and who were 'posers' just out to cause issues with you that I had to stop.  I have not had any chatting for a long time now.  Good luck, and best regards.

I honestly do not place any faith on meeting people in ANY chat room at all. I just basically hardly ever go to a chat room. because some people will be, you know, like you described them, there will ALWAYS be them hanging out in every chat room on the net, so you never know who you are really chatting with and the only way to find out SUCKS because that means getting more personal with them . . and then it's too late if they are a perv.\n\nYou know, I really think there is a better chance of meeting a nice person just browsing books at a popular bookstore, or a small cafe or cafe concert or even StarBucks for that matter.

Chatty in what sense? \n\nThis isn't really a forum for conversation which would require numerous feedback sessions between you and those that answer. You ask, we answer, you pick best answer and state your claim as to why.\n\nChatty I would imagine would be left to the live forms such as chat rooms.\n\nI'm not sure why you were violated but was just presenting my argument based on what I think the Yahoo gods are using as reasons.
