      HOPE TO HERE FROM YOU ALL
      REGARDS

    • yeh you are right..
      I do it most of the time for fun, but there are also times when I go in just looking for new friends or info about some topics..

      chatting rooms are the worst thing in my list...
      You don't know whom you are talking to and above all they all become dirty after while.///
      am i rght?
      have no idea.

      see ya around and have fun
      By the way, I have a problem in my tooth...it pains everytime I eat something sour..
      have a solusion for me Dr.

    • Thank you Dr. SHAIKHA
      Interesting topic and interesting thing to talk about
      Yes I have, and visited so many of them. Boredom was not merely the only reason. I have visited so many dedicated chats, where one can meet people having the same concern. You can ask them, learn from them, give them your experience and I do not mean life and personals

      I had a medical problem I wanted to know more about, got in one chat rooms where I met some people having the same problem, was very interesting

      I have visited other chats, general chats, some are disgusting, and are only there to ruin what is left from our principles. I have seen one omani chat, just disgusting and one just feels ashamed of

      I am not saying all are bad, some are good where you can have some descent chats and get to know other people

      Sure will come back as the discussion progresses

      :)

    • Hello Dr. shaikha

      first, why do you type is Caps?? we get your voice you dont have to scream :)i

      I used to visit Very Few chat rooms, hoping to discuss issues and new info and ideas, but boy was i disappointed
      since then i didnt bother with them at all, for years now

      They are mostly too silly and crappy to even go there when you're bored .. makes you bored even more

      Of course there have to be some intectual ones, not that i know of


      Thanks Shaikha, and nice to you here


    • Dr Shaikha,
      Well, I don't see anything wrong with the chat rooms or chat websites. I guess I enjoy USING them. The chatting websites, I started using them since last April only and I use them once every month or every 6 weeks.

      I started getting into chat rooms in 1997 and I found it something new and interesting to know more about, Im a type of person who likes learning about new and different things. But my aim wasn't to get to know people, in fact it was more about the technical side of it and how it works. The reason is, I realized how important it is in terms of computer-human interaction for business purposes. I got to know many people though, some of them Im still in touch with them til today and quite respect each other. Those I met were from different countries and they were professionals either in graphic design or students or just computer engineers or programmers. To be honest with you, some of them were introduced to my parent and it was both genders that I met. But again, meeting people itself is not a bad thing, it depends on how well and professional we manage it.

      I see chatting rooms are very important, in the area of customer support, it helps customers get a quick response for any problem they have or query about a product. It is also important in the medical area where internet users may chat with a doctor and get online consultation about disease or something else. It is also good in the education area where students could chat with their lecturers and ask them about assessments or the course material and I've used this very much and it was very helpful in conducting an effective and efficient study.

      I do not use the area of dating or finding my lifetime partner...etc. I may get on these chat rooms to chat with people about issues. In many cases, I log in, stay for a while and read what's been going on and if the room is clean with clean chatters and chatting about something interesting, then I will get involved, otherwise if I see bad language used and pointless issues being discussed, then I just log out. But you can very much get benefit of the chat room especially if you are writing a research, then you can reference the conversation you had with that person.

      I consider this forum is another way of chatting with people, yeah when I feel bored or even when Im busy, I would still get a time to chat and discuss stuff if it is going to be useful for me. I do not like missing out good stuff happening around me.

      I will probably come later because I need to visit a friend now :)

      Cheers

    • Thanks Dr for this interesting Topic, you are right when you said it is almost wasting time because it is chatting. However, that depends in the way we use the chat. If we use it in a negative or positive way.

      Honestly, i also like to use chatting and i usually use 2 kinds of chatting which are yahoo chat rooms and Oman0 chat..

      I try sometimes to get to yahoo Islam rooms and see what others write there. Believe me, if you really go there, you will really feel so so bored. But, why I do keep going there? Well, Sometimes, I do have a good conversations with some good chatters and I feel so happy if anyone come to me and ask me about Islam.
      You really don't know how happy I feel to help people there and tell them something about islam.
      Through this chat, i met many and many friends from different countries but i haven't the chance to meet them as 3gooz nawar did :(

      As Nawar said, they are really helpful sometimes in the case of researches and I already tried this method. I remember i was doing a research and it was about the different translation for Holy quran.So, i decided to go to the chat rooms and ask foreign Muslim chatters about their translated copy of holy quran..It really helped me a lot. besides, chatting help me to increase the speed of my typing :P ..

      last week, i met a good friend and he is a bussines man with more than 5 certificates. i am really enjoying chatting with him because he is a very educated and a good writer. Maybe i will convince him one day to join us here |a ..
      So, i think chatting is good if we use it in a positive way :)

      My regards
      Scream

      Did anyone call my name here? ~!@q

      LoL.. yeah I guess Mrs Unfaithful did ;)

      By the way Scream, it is really good that you participate in such conversations about Islam, you will be rewarded for that insha'a Allah. But you know what, Although I like the concept of chatting to spread knowledge, but unfortunately I rarely use any these days. The chatting for pleasure is not my thing, because I hardly get any time to chat with my family. I can rate myself and say that Im a light chatter now comparing to the old days. I was really addicted to it and I assume many people were :P

      These days I chat once or twice fortnightly which is really sad because the chat, especially on MSN messenger, keeps me connected with my beloved ones, friends, relatives..etc. It does waste your time, but I dont think chatting with friends is waste of time, because our duty is to stay in touch with them and with relatives as well. But if we are saying that we are chatting for more than 2 hours, that's what I call it waste of time, but getting a time once in a blue moon to catch up with friends is OK, in my opinion

      Cheers

    • salam every 1
      thank you all for giving your opinions,
      and im sorry (mrs unfaithful)i didnt mean to scream! i was typing something in blocks and this topic came into my mind so i started typing it without realising that it is in blocks
      and many thanx to el3aj0o0o0z Nawar,im really impressed !.

    • when i start reading this topic i thought you are asking me

      coz you start you r topic saying

      HAVE YOU EVER VISITTED A CHATTING ROOM


      Hahahahaha, good one have you ever been in love :P , I guess your nick is just unique
      I myself thought Dr. Shaijha was talking about you
      have you ever visited a chat room, he spent one hour and...........to find the topic was different
      lol
      #i #i #i

    • Once again talking about the chats, the good, the bad and the ugly face of chats
      It all started with me back in 97 when, and I am talking here with open heart and mind, saw my neice on the computer, I respected her privacy, but I wanted to know what was she doing

      I knew she was chatting, I managed to know the chat name, and looged on. That was the first time I ever logged onto a chat site, and I swear I was scared to start

      I managed managed again to know her nick name. I went there just to protect her. I chatted to her for 6 months without her knowing I was her uncle
      To tell you the truth I was proud she was my neice
      I had to put and end and tell her it was me, I did it in a dramatic way, what a surprise it was for her
      She was proud to know it was me, and started to tell all that "I" was her uncle

      I met so many people, I remember we were to stay up till 9 in the morning as I had so many friends from Australia and The states

      Things have changed, life has too, and I lost contact with all apart from 2 I meet from time to time

      I do not really know whether this was the good or the bad or ugly face of chat

    • have you ever كتب:

      hi all

      when i start reading this topic i thought you are asking me

      coz you start you r topic saying

      HAVE YOU EVER VISITTED A CHATTING ROOM

      lol

      i visit chatting rooms but it is very less

      i visit just to kill time

      thank you


      Man, aren't you proud of having that nick name hehe..

      Well, Tenderness seems that we almost had the same age in using chat rooms.. tell you what, it doesn't really matter if you meet people or not, the most important thing is what's going on between the two chatters. You can always keep the chat and coversations clean. When knowing someone on internet, doesn't mean that you have to fall in love with them or anything though many really like the presonalities they are communicating with and don't know the real one on the other end of the line.. But the good thing is, the more you chat with someone, the more you know about them, even if it bulls%^t you would still be able to notice the good and bad things in them. thus you may decide if it is a good idea to continue being in touch or not.. I had to stop being in touch with many people because I realised they had dirty mind, and all I had in mind is that Im talking to a mind here, not just a human so I need to be able to judge a person according to what I know about his mind or the way he/she thinks

      There are times also when I needed to stop chatting to everyone, so what I did is I did not sign into MSN messenger or reply any emails because it started becoming a time consuming task and I started having many other stuff to do, so I used that as an excuse for some time, but then I got back in touch with them.. But still, at this stage I wouldn't chat with people even if they are my relative on a daily basis. I just chat when I have a chance

      Really it all depends on us how to use it.. everyone had this bad image of chat rooms or chat websites..etc but that was because of the people who misused this helpful tool

      For those who are logging into chat rooms to find girls or boys, get a life and see the world, it's much more interesting to find a person and talk to him/her face to face. At least we can see the expression when the person is not saying the truth ;)

      would we still be able to notice the good and bad things ... without seeing the expression of thier face??s
      Not really
      And will seeing the expression on thier face makes you certain if they are saying the truth or not???s
      Not really

      on the level of sincerity in the person, wether in chat rooms or face to face, there are liars, cheaters, and honest decent people as well

      There is nothing wrong in trying to find a freind or even a partner in chatrooms... Hundreds around the world have done it... Though it may sound a little too desperate for some,
      But meeting face to face a jerk who will abuse, humiliate and ruin your life is sickingly pathatic

    • The chat is a chat
      Mentality, education, culture and ....what else can decide how the chat goes on

      I met this lad, in real life and helped him with his studying, he was about to go and study abroad, he asked me and said the one thing he was say worried about how would he mix and talk to girls

      I di not blame him though, I believe he never spoke to a girl before, and no he is going to mix and meet some more open people. I told him just be normal and talk in a normal way, just think of the person or girl in this case as a human being, forget about her gender and you will not find it strange to handle it

      May be this what I mean by mentality, education and culture that I again we could have in chat rooms

      You may meet the opposite sex, and have some feelings, we are human beings after all, but watch out your limits and let the other one watch his/her

      May be others do not know that great and big names enter chat rooms, so do not be surprised to find yourself chatting with Mr. George W. Bush one day should he win the elections on 2.11 that I hope he never does
      #i
      If I had the chance to vote I will go to Mr. Hamed Karazay or whatever his name. I hear it every day with new pronounciation, funny they cannot decide
      :P

      To some extent, yes you can know if the person is good or bad without having to see the expressions. Let me give you an example. How do you know that Im good or bad? I have never asked you to trust me of course, but can you tell if Im good or bad? maybe you can and may you cannot.. different people have different abilities, sometimes you can notice and sometimes you cannot, because the person is a professional liar..

      Again to some extent, some people can fake it very well, others cannot.. they may be able to fake it online, but not in real life.. here comes the different levels of skills. I may be so skilled in communicating with people online and be able to convince them about something, but in real life Im a type of person who is too shy to talk to people and cannot get involved in such discussions

      For sure there are liars and cheaters online and offline, but how do you know if they are liars and cheaters anyway? whether online or offline

      well, many people did find their partners online, but they will have to continue the relation offline. There is nothing wrong with it of course, but would you for example go and find a partner online?? I personally wouldn't because it is me and I'd rather let the person come to me. Sometimes I would take a step ahead to know the person and go offline to know him more. eL3aJoOoZ NaWaR works better offline but needs the offline too to get some clear images about the person

      Not everyone we meet offline are jerks though, I met so many people offline and they are just wonderful.. the problem is thinking whether the person is compatible with me or not

      Take it easy :)

      Exactly it's mentality... By the way, Im being myself more online than offline.. there are so many restrictions outside and I find the forums are places to get yourself heard.. at least that's what I think but there are things that I cant do online and gotta do them physically, outdoor activities for example


    • To some extent, yes you can know if the person is good or bad without having to see the expressions. Let me give you an example. How do you know that Im good or bad?

      Wouldnt that tell us something about you?? Given your example, there is a wonderful side of you ("you" is general here) that is invisable to people around you

      For sure there are liars and cheaters online and offline, but how do you know if they are liars and cheaters anyway? whether online or offline


      Exactly. So it doesnt matter how you "meet" the person. A Liar is a Liar

      well, many people did find their partners online, but they will have to continue the relation offline. There is nothing wrong with it of course, but would you for example go and find a partner online?? I personally wouldn't because it is me and I'd rather let the person come to me.

      i didnt say that. What i meant to say is that sometimes you *could* meet much better people online than in real life. And just because someone approaches you in real life (even if with a dozen roses) doesnt make them prince charming, they could be sick jerks too
      (not to generalize of course)i
