Sherack Nhar Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 In your opinion, what is the best accessible (read: free ) place to meet people online? Online bulletin boards such as this one? MSN Chats? Newsgroups? IRC? I'm no expert on the matter, but I believe that message boards are the best. Why? Because it's one of the few systems where people who are willing to discuss a specific subject can meet and do just that. For example, while this forum is labelled as Off-Topic, it's pretty much a given that the vast majority of us like Star Wars. That's a plus in my opinion. What do you think? What is your favored system for meeting new people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadDoofer Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 This is a good way, but many people I know use the Habbo hotel place. I don't like it that much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue15 ya messege boards are perfect places to meet people w/similar interests. Like horrible spelling and grammar? Personally, I think any big gathering of people is a good place to meet a new person. Be this at a college orientation or a concert...any place where there is a wealth of people to choose from is probably your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherack Nhar Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 I said online... Message Boards are cool but there are a fews cons too. They're time-consumming if you want to get noticed. It's hard to be a regular poster at 2-3 forums, whereas it's easier to have 5 or 6 regular chat rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Online...meh. Message boards and messengers are the only wasys I know of to meet people. Chat rooms are no fun sometimes because there are too many people. I'd much prefer to go out and meet people in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Ah, so you want immediate satisfaction. Well then, try out the methods suggested. Or play an online game. Who knows, you may find a best friend in someone you blow the crap out of in Counter-Strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherack Nhar Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 Heh I'd rather not play online games, I get my ass kicked all the time I have two hours of nothing-to-do before I go to bed, and I'm running out of ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 I agree with you, Sherack! The best place is message boards! Literally everybody on my friends list on MSN and others, if not someone i know in real life, is someone i met on some forum or the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 i totally agree. The message board environment is a good way to meet many people. However the messangers are a good way to get to know people more in debth. I don't like chat rooms either. They give me a headache and too many people saying stupid things...hard to carry on a decent conversation. I also like getting emails. That's a good way to get to know people as well. As for the outside world. I'd have to say work is a really good way to meet people and of course College and through friends. I meet a lot of my friend through other friends. Partys are a fun way to meet people as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfmanNCSU Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Meeting people online huh..... I would think that a message board is a great place to discuss ideas and talk on topics of interest, but I would think a chating service/chat room would be a better place to actually meet people on a more personal level. Not sure though, never gave it a try or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacherous Mercenary Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Personally, I prefer fourms and messengers.... But if anything, forums as most of them are on messenger nine times out of ten . Chats, well... I'm usually doing something else and letting everyone do their own thing unless it was a small chat that is, then I start to prefer those over forums and messengers !
