I love to IM chat with everyone here. But there are a few things to remember. If you are underage (minor) don't ask for pictures. I am not going to jail for no one. If someone says they are busy and have to go, be nice and let them go. If not you may not get a return chat. If you are in mid-chat, don't disappear. If you have to go, type "brb" or something. Oh, and don't be @#$!ing rude. I had someone get pushy for pictures and wouldn't take no for an answer. Guess what, there is an ignore button and it does work.

I have used the "ignore" alot more than I wanted to. This morning I had an IM that just read: "I want to suck your..." you get the picture. At least start with a hi or something. What if I wasn't at the computer and someone else saw it? Lucky for me I am the only one who has access to the computer, but what about someone at work? Or has kids? Think before you type.
OH, and just because someone is logged in, it doesn't mean that they can chat at that time.
