Chat Tips
Chat - An interactive, online discussion (by keyboard) abouta specific topic
thatis hosted on the Internet or on a BBS. On the Internet, chat rooms areavailable from major services such as AOL, individual Web sites andthe Internet Relay Chat (IRC) system, the Net's traditional computerconferencing.
Chat rooms are set up to handle group discussions, and everyonesees what everyone else types in, although two people can decide tobreak off and have their own keyboard chat. "Instant messaging,"a similar concept, works in an opposite manner. With instant messaging,two people normally interact back and forth and must specifically inviteothers to join in.
Some chat rooms go beyond text messages incorporating 2D and 3D graphicswith avatars (these types of systems are also referred to as visualchat or virtual chat). These environments are capable of incorporatingelements such as games and educational material most often developedby individual site owners, who in general are simply more advanced usersof the systems.
Some chatroom sites incorporate audio and video communications. Peoplemay chat in audio and watch each other there.

Netiquette
Tips on chat room rules & etiquette or netiquette: People have been chatting online for overa decade. And new people come online every day. Many chat veterans havetheir own vernacular. Just like in real life, the chat world has itsown set of social norms. Many of these rules, often referred to as "netiquette,"are universal. Others are specific to the chat software or service.There are some general rules of thumb, though.
- When you enter a room, don´t just jump in andblurt "hey, what´s going on?" Take a moment to see what folks arediscussing and then join in.
- Make sure your caps lock key isn´t engaged.When you type in all capital letters, you appear to be shouting. It´sa guaranteed way to irritate chat regulars.
- If you’re trying out new fonts, colors, emoticons,gestures, or anything else that might be completely irrelevant tothe conversation in the chat room, go to a different room, or a privateroom, to test things out.
- Sitting in a chat room interrupting the flowof chat is never well-received.
Singles chat rooms
You might think Singles chat rooms is the sameas romance chat rooms, but it´s not. There is overlap, for sure, butsingles chat rooms tend to be oriented more toward casual hookups, andmany are mostly devoted to cybersex. When you visit these rooms, keepin mind that famous "New Yorker" cartoon - "On the Internet, no oneknows you´re a dog". Just like no one on the internet really knows whoyou are, you can´t know who others are either. People´s true identitymay have very little to do with their online persona. It´s extremelycommon for chatters to lie about their age, gender, race, and/or sexualidentity. Actually, anything another chatter tells you can be fabricated.This isn´t necessarily bad or dangerous in any way. Playing with differentidentities can be lots of fun, as long as you´re not being maliciousor really misleading anyone. And of course, regardless of whether ornot you´re using your real life persona, be careful never to give anyonereal information about yourself while chatting in singles chat rooms.
One-to-one voice chat
Voice chat tips: Most voice chat systemsuse peer-to-peer communications for 2-person conversations. Peer topeer means one computer to another. In other words, rather than connectingto a central server through which all the data flows, you connect directlyto another chatter or chatters. When you set up a peer to peer connectionwith another chatter, you will be exposing your IP number to the otherchatter. This isn´t necessarily a problem in any way, but do make sureyou have adequate firewall protection installed on your computer. Manycomputers have microphones and speakers built in, but your best betis to buy a microphone and headset, or a combination microphone/headset.

The icon sitsnext to your chat name or in your instant messaging windows. Other chatslet you use a custom avatar that actually represents your persona graphicallywhile chatting.

Room / Small Events

Gaming ladders
Gaming ladders are all about ranking. The better you play, the morerungs you climb in the ladder. Game ladders can be used to track anykind of game, from online tournaments to regattas along the coast. Interms of chat, game ladders usually refer to ranking systems that relateto casual or parlor games, such as board games and card games. Let´suse a backgammon ladder as an example. If I have a backgammon ladderwith 100 members, each member has a ranking from 1 to 100. If you beata ladder member with a higher ranking than you, your ranking improvesand theirs declines. Some sites offer ladders exclusively, leaving itto you to choose the game vendors and chat clients. Other chats integratethe ladders right into their service, so you can chat, play games, andcreate and join ladders all at one place. The integrated sites usuallyautomatically track the game scores so all you have to do is chat andplay games :)
