4. Try this one. Seriesly...it is unlike any other you'll find.

Very strange...it is totally hidden. Doesn't show up on any Yahoo! list. Check out the date...the story for it isn't even there, but it's been active since January of 2002. Bookmark the "Messages" link below or you'll never find your way back to it. Me and at least one other DUer post here, too. I cross-post from DU quite a bit.

5. I tried once, must've been 8 years ago
and realized it suffered from the fatal flaw that ruins all ISP chat rooms: easy accessibility.

Honestly, if you want good political chat, download mIRC and go surfing the networks for political chats. There are a few decent ones out there among all the kids and porn channels and screaming rednecks. Plus, mIRC is just difficult enough to be a twit filter and the chats are a lot more literate.

7. I used to go trollin over there.
It was a cesspool of Clinton haters there. It would never fail, instead of talking about the top political news of the day, they were still talking about the Clintons. It was pathetic. I would start posting anti Bush or repuke stuff to stir things up.

Edited on Thu Apr-20-06 02:53 PM by Breeze54
I just checked and there's only one person in the two rooms left.
And it says BOTH rooms are FULL!! :rofl:


Rooms 3 & 4 were usually FULL of freepers and Rooms 10 & 11 were full of progressives.

But it looks like they are revamping them??

There were a lot of fights especially in rooms 3 & 4 though...

Maybe the NSA is taking a peek??? :shrug:

9. When I tried it,
I was driven away by the pure unadulterated hatred towards Muslims.

12. I used to
years ago when you could create your own rooms. We had these programs (bots) and we would boot freeper-types. I haven’t been there in years now though.

I just logged in to see what was going on and it said

" Share what's in your shell.
Notification: We are currently recording IP addresses of all Yahoo! Chat users."


None of the chatrooms seem to be chatting...just names there but no activity.

:shrug:
