Now a days you still can find chatrooms in websites like http://www.e-chat.co, http://www.chatib.us, http://www.mocospace.com and if you search Google you will find many more.

This TV series was on the air a few years ago, and a new series just started with a new name (I can't quite remember the new name). Thing is, they catch their "customers" due to conversations on chatrooms. They must be pretty seedy places these days. The topics of conversations are too graphic to broadcast on the show. They only hint at the conversations while they bring the guy down for an arrest.
This is just one episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJIlftta6fk

Wow real time? Hmm then I might have to make a chat. To me it just feels like messages with a lot of people. and you get notified. But not every one replied fast. Chat rooms used to flow so fast, and people replied within seconds it was why it's fun. I mostly just see chat boxes in live streams now.

Ok I will try chatting on there. See what happens.
