just rereading graeme, up, once reported a paedophile for chatting up an underage girl online, reaction from navi (when eventually arrived) was the child was over 13 and therefore not their problem. lots of things need fixed here.

have just read up, and totally agree with others, especially Jill, to which I would add that the regulars, supported by navi mates, just run the thing, there is no governance.

And in my opinion it is not that easy to post comments, took me several goes and not IT illiterate, I run IT for a govt agency and it is better than this. IF YOU WANT COMMENTS MAKE IT EASIER. Rant over. And why do you need the e-mail address, that just intimidates the people most discriminated against in the old system, so there’s a group you will hear little from.

Lol, if you really want to fix it, and it had potential, you not doing it right. Try listening to users (who had no warning of recent developments, not great customer service)/

lol, I notice that my earlier comment is not yet here, is it subject to censure by Lycos?

Have tried to register for the new service, but am “banned” even though I wasn’t banned under ToS under the old service, so old regulars still running the show it seems. for anyone bothers to read this, don’t go, gets very sad very quickly.

Lol, if Lycos fund you, doubt you will print this.

Well this is so wrong, why did Lycos fail? I liked it a lot.

Has the chat site gone? The ship etc?
I tried to log in this morning, but all i am getting is a broken link thing. I agree with the comments about some of the users. I first began using lycos chat some 10 years ago, i can remember when they merged Love@lycos with us and what an uproar that caused.
It didn't help when a female chatter named Tigerbear ran off with the co-owner and then proceeded to cull all the navigators who she had previous spats with and basically threw her weight about. A lot of the regular users either left on their own accord or were banned by her for daring to speak up.
I deactivated my own account around 3 yrs ago and have recently rejoined, the changes on the chat site were astounding, absolutely terrible. It seems to be little more than a cyber brothel now, where people, married or not simply go to have cybersex or actually meet up for the real thing…married or not! Within days i deactivated my account again in disgust.
I wont miss it.

I think there should be a future for the chat community.

Its chat rooms were a complete disaster.
