Perhaps not the best place to post it, nor do I have a real reason. But any possible way to get a little more activity is good, right? 
Regardless, I always have been bad in taking the first word, or starting a discussion/conversation, if you prefer. Therefore, my apologies for the poor explanation; especially considering I am not sure about what to debate despite making the thread. ^^ I'm just hoping something to pop up while typing... as usual.
A couple of years ago, chatting on a site, or a chatroom as it is also called, was extremely popular. I remember the time it overlapped MSN. Asking each other to "come back to the same chatroom the next day," was quite common as well.
During its popular days, I always visited one specific online-chat site. Sometimes other branches of it, but mostly the same. The chatting-thing died with me as well, and I retreated to my forums and MSN, which I still do, apparently. From the one day to the other, I stopped coming, and the same counted for all my friends. The memories of the days that every chatroom was full are still pleasant memories... crowded memories, but fine to remember. The nickname I used back then (besides Eddy) is still the name I use when I decide not to use 'Fladian.' For those who know me a bit longer know that the name is 'Random.' (Valdin is usually used for games)
That popularity is pretty much gone now... or at least, for most.
Out of pure curiousity, I decided to visit the old chatting-site again. Naturally, by the name of 'Random.' I told a friend of mine: "I can't remember people coming to me. Usually it was me, who came to other people." It wasn't very active anymore (about 50 people online at all times) nor did it have the mood I used to love.
A (former) friend of mine had quite a long termed relationship with some girl several years ago. A couple of years passed now, and they broke up a long time ago. I can't recall that they still had any contact with each other.
I said earlier in the post that someone came to me when I logged in (purely coincidental), that's true. I met a few people throughout that online chatting site. All of them have something specific and remarkable that I manage to remember them by. One of them being able to speak twelve different languages ("I only speak two, fluently," "Oh, I speak twelve of them.") and another one having a very... interesting study course. Something with beauty and stuff, while having a part-time job as a car-mechanic. ("Strange combination.") There were some other stuff as well, but I found those easy enough to remember. ^^
I've taken a year of time to test some stuff with people. I made a little miscalculation in that and I am currently living with the somewhat unpleasant consequences (some would call them pleasant, however, depends a bit on how much you like it, I guess). I pretty much got my answers and results from my so-called "test," but I never thought about how it would go with online contacts.
My question is, what do you think of contacts met through an online chatting site? Do they last long?
