How to have a positive chatting experience?
*****************************************************************************************

Here are some basic tips to keep in mind if you want to have a positive chatting experience:

Never type in all capital letters.

WHEN YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING!

People generally find this very annoying.

Be polite to strangers.

If you don't know the people you are talking to, it is appropriate to be as polite as if you are meeting someone for the first time in real life.

If someone doesn't want to chat, don't harass them.

There are plenty of people in Unknown galaxy to talk to. If one person doesn't want to chat with you, just move on, don't pester them.

Don't be offensive.

Offensive behavior is totally inappropriate unless you are in private and among good friends who have indicated that they do not mind. Otherwise, you will just annoy everyone and you will wind up getting muted.

Safety tips for chat rooms

1. Never give out your personal information in a chat room.

2. Never agree to meet a stranger in person whom you met in a chat room.

3. When you're asked to enter or sign up for a chat nickname, choose a name that doesn't give away your personal information.

4. Be wary of other chatters who ask you to meet in private chat rooms.

5. Check the terms and conditions, code of conduct, and privacy statement at the chat site before you begin chatting.

6. Never accept any files from strangers. Viruses / Spywares can be embedded in the files u recieve.

ICQ.5.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ICQ Is an instant messaging computer program, owned by Time Warner's AOL subsidiary. The first version of the program was released in November 1996. The name ICQ is a play (an oronym) on the phrase "I seek you".

ICQ features include sending text messages with offline support, multi-user chats, Free daily-limited SMS sending, resumable file transfers, greeting cards and multiplayer games. Other features included a searchable user directory and POP3 email support.

ICQ users are identified by numbers called UIN, distributed in sequential order. New users are now given a UIN of well over 300,000,000, and low numbers (six or five digits) have been auctioned on </a>[no ads please]
by users who signed up in ICQ's early days. Since 2000, ICQ and AIM users are able to add each other to their contact list without the need of any external clients.
=========================================================================================

You can even call landlines and mobile phones at really cheap per minute rates (and there’s no setup or subscription fee).
