[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: No more Potter chat?

[bumbledore]

Ah yes.. the good ole days.. using Usenet to get into a IRC chat.
Yepper.. Do you remember Fidonet BBS's? I ran one for 7 years.
Well, Yahoo has shut down the USER created rooms due to the
child/sex stuff.. but the main rooms are still full of it. I just logged on
to
HP1 chat and it had 31 people, 4 porn bots, and most of the chatter was
sexual in nature.. Oh well.. Kids at that age have raging hormones, I guess.
