General Chat Information and Guidelines

This page is primarily for new users to the site for quick/brief help and general information, but parts are subject to change at any time.

Site History

This unique chat has been around under many domains for many years. In the late 90s and early 2000s there were over 200 domains linked to the chat and some of its most memorable domain names from the past would be:

  • 99.com
  • smile.com
  • sexy.com
  • poo.com
  • man.com
  • fist.com
Today the main domains are:
  • poo.com
  • addachat.com
  • htmlchat.org
  • addictingchat.com
(And no, poo.com was not a "porn site", just a chat site that allowed/allows the posting of adult content)

Image Content

If you use the chat while at work or if you're under the age of 18 or maybe you simply do not wish to see content of an adult nature, then the first recommended action is to turn off images within your settings panel:

You could also disable or even ignore the user(s) that post the content you do not want to see:

Another option would be to create your own room by typing the room command room=newroomname into the chat.

You should not attempt to flood the chat with posts to remove content. simply delete the user's post or ignore the user:

Gore, Offensive Or Illegal Content

To protect the ongoing longevity of the site any user posting content that is deemed excessive or illegal will be removed and restricted from the site.

Feel free to report users that you feel are crossing this line. Contact Form

Proxies, VPNs Or Tor

Networks designed to hide a user's identity may be challenged or even blocked at any given time. Unfortunately when these networks are left untouched it doesn't take long before someone abuses them. For the 1% of users that use them correctly (for privacy) you can blame the other 99% that do not.

Idiots And Trolls

You do not need to report users that post stupid comments, that is very much common place and nothing new to any chat site. Ignore is your best tool against trolling and general racism/ignorance online. Do NOT feed the trolls and attention seekers (unless you really enjoy it).
