Keeping in touch...and goodbye...:(

[Jorja]

I have enjoyed chat here for many many years and miss coming in and miss some of the folks I used to chat with so, I decided to add my yahoo email address here so anyone that wants to keep in touch with me can do so, I'd like to say this room has helped me become the person I am today and the people I met here helped in that process. I grew up in this room and will genuinely miss coming in here to chat. If others want to add their emails to the list maybe some of us can keep in contact when this site is gone for good...not a good sign we have not heard one word from Drew, very sad and unprofessional..so, email me!! lol

There is a way to chat in groups via most major email services. Most instant messenger protocols allow for creation of rooms or channels. It may be difficult to maintain separate lists of your buddies, much less run different versions of instant messenger software.

In addressing these issues I would suggest using Pidgin (http://pidgin.im/), or perhaps, even using Thunderbird (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/) email client. Both are Open Source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software) software which will run effectively on most major Operating System (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system)s. Both are capable of supporting most major instant messaging protocols (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging).

This means a person only needs to use one client program to keep track of buddies, communicate with them. Here is the extra protocols (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/additional-chat-protocols/) for Thunderbird chatting. These extra protocols when added to Thunderbird end up creating a program, Instantbird (http://www.instantbird.com/).

Instantbird again is Open Source and supports most major operating systems. I prefer using Thunderbird or Icedove, as Thunderbird is re-branded in Debian (http://www.debian.org/) instead of going the route of Instantbird. The two are comparably the same.

For my preference though, it seems more practical to stick with Mozilla brand and let Mozilla update as needed. This to me in some regards is putting all the eggs into one basket, but it is done with experience and assurance in people who have consistently held themselves to high standards. And that means the programs they create will be top flight enough for all to use.

If you find yourself using and liking open source programs often, you may desire switching operating systems to GNU/Linux (https://www.kernel.org/). In doing so I may suggest users migrating from Windows, select an easier to use distribution (flavor of Linux) such as Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/). Ubuntu is more user friendly variant of Debian.

I like Debian because it requires a bit more technical tenacity, your mileage may vary. This is one positive aspect of GNU/Linux, users have a vast array of choices in how to do things. Every user will find what works for themselves and be happy in that, and most of the basic software does not need continually updated.

For example you find a version of a text editing software you enjoy. The program gets upgraded but does not include a feature or feel the older version held for you. If no serious security issues were touched on in the upgrade, you may safely continue using the older version if you like.

And yes, GNU/Linux is secure, a lot more so than Windows. Although to be fair, I have not used Windows in over a decade, longer and would be unaware of any further strides in its security redressing. GNU/Linux does not get many if any viruses or malicious advertising software.

To be honest, in the decade I have run GNU/Linus, I had one virus software on my computer. It was one I deliberately put on the computer in exploring some programming issues. Once I had completed the task/s allotted, I quarantined and removed the virus easily enough using Clam Antivirus. It was of no dire issue.

I still get a lot of spam email, simply because I likely to be being too lazy. I could write up a program or script to abolish it prior to delivery from external servers, but I just have not and only rely on already made algorithms to deal with spam. This really is not high priority for me as most of the already there program/s and their aspects suit enough.

I seldom reboot using GNU/Linux. In fact I recently had to have the whole ball of wax, in regards to hardware of the computer replaced. The software was working but the hardware had gone kaput due simply from age, use. It wore out before the software broke. :)

Well, I ramble too much. Need to get to writing. Have an idea for a story regarding hamburgers in Guam, a device what refracts Time & Space, a serial killer and general enjoyable tea time of the soul ... don't ask, you may have to read it later after publication. ;)

Sad to see you go. Myriad reasons as to why but not ours to question why. I just quit a fb group here in the Philippines so I understand. A US Marine just killed a ladyboy by drowning him/her in the toilet. I was outraged but reading all the comments on the news site, most people in America thought he/she deserved it by the deception. Even my ladyboy friend thought so. I am proud to be bi and it has cost me, believe me! Lack of texts was my first clue. I am bi by birth so I make no apologies. Respect you all here. Cheers.

Oh no! Is bisexual.com going under?

I used to use the old Bianca site...thought it was one of the best I ever used. Developed many friendships there, too. However, it went down, back in the late '90s, and I never knew why.

I hope Bi.com's not going to die, too!

gloom, dispare, agony on me!

[nomorenomore]

I had looked up the whois and the records for bisexual.com were updated in Sept. The expiration for the domain is in 2018. I don't know what happened to Drew, hopefully nothing bad, but the site may keep going if the bills are paid.

*steps over, envelopes you in big warm hug, whispers gruffly "Not all of us are named 'Most'.", gently steps away*

Deception is wrong, sure. Killing another is just, if not more so wrong. Two wrongs never create a right.
