Xerq has one OT used to. People are usually in after like 9 pm central time. If I can get enough people coming in from RB, kramers, NN, OT, Xerq, Ex, straight Dope, and maybe Joe Rogan then I’d want to come up with a totally new tinychat room like message boards galore or something. And make the online posting community really come together and make frands ---

Do you guys ever get new posters because I was informed to come here because everyone was real nice an all that crap and I’ve really gotten nothing but shit on everything I say. I’m trying to brush it off my shoulder but damn it is EVERY time I say anything. ---

Many people have been quite patient and helpful with you. You really need to take your own advice, step back, lurk more and get a feel for board culture. Here or anywhere you want to post…every online community has its own culture and rules. Learn before you jump in, is all. ---

I’m trying to brush it off my shoulder but damn it is EVERY time I say anything. I don’t know about other postings, but what I see here is a post with a link without any explanation of that link - at least not an explanation that I understand. I don’t know what tiny chat is. I don’t know what Xerq is or what OT means. (or RN, NN or kramers for that matter). To me, it looks like an intentional attempt to be vague and misleading in the hope that it will generate lots of extra clicks on your links. It doesn’t look to me like an attempt to engage me in conversation. I may be misunderstanding you entirely, but you’re going to have to provide a context so that I know what you’re talking about. ---

**JLynn** , I’ve removed the link in your OP, which was reported as spam. We’re not here to drive traffic to other sites – even when, as here, the nature of that other site is unclear from the OP. **twickster** , MPSIMS moderator ---

> [@JLynn](#): > > I give. Have nice lives. Ok, but it’s a shame. I’m curious what your OP is about. You just need to explain it for people who don’t already know what you’re talking about. And FWIW, people were really helpful to you with your med problem and when you asked about different sub forums. I’m not sure what else you were hoping for. ---

I’m not sure what else you were hoping for. Tiny chat is a chatroom that allows members to get on web cams. It’s fun to interact with people you can see sometimes online their humanity is lost in a keyboard and not having to see their reactions hear their voice. Of course you can chat without a camera too. ---

**JLynn** from our Registration Agreement: > [@](#): > > Do not post spam, including but not limited to advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, solicitations, offers to trade or barter, charitable appeals, or other messages primarily intended to promote a cause, venture, organization, event (except Straight Dope-related events), **website** , or other entity or activity, whether or not money is involved. When you start a thread with a link in the OP with the apparent purpose of sending posters to another website and away from here it will most likely be reported as spam as it was in this case. Especially since your post was written in a very confusing manner. I don’t think it was your intention to spam anyone. But it was hard to tell from your OP. If you want to promote a chat room for SDMB users I would suggest sending a PM to a Mod. I’m not sure if it was ever tried before or if it something TPTB would want. Or quite frankly if there would be any interest in it. In the mean time I see no purpose to keep this open. ---

OK, so that’s what TinyChat is. That’s helpful. Now, what are Xerq, RB, and the rest of them? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-tiny-chat/709941.md?page=2)
