Scheduling Your Chats

To enhance your NYA chatting experience try the following:
# Select a certain day, time to meet your NYA friends each week.
# Host your own chat events. Play a game of scramble or share jokes or etc.

Don't Worry

Don't be embarrassed because you type slowly [hunt 'n peck] or can't spell very good. Everyone here only cares about you and will welcome your thoughts and messages no matter what they look like! Together you will figure them out!

Improving Chat Skills

Chat rooms offer lively and entertaining exchanges for everyone who participates. Like anything else, chatting requires a little time and practice to fully enjoy the experience.

Introduce Yourself

To create a comfortable environment and enhance your chatting experience, familiarize yourself with chat guidelines, etiquette, or tips.

Before you begin to chat, take a moment to view the conversations and get a feel for the atmosphere in the room.

You'll be able to see the names of others in the room. Introduce yourself and greet everyone in the room. A simple "Hello Everyone" or just "Hi NYA" is a great way to start. Before you know it, you'll be chatting!

Chit-Chatting

Sometimes, people speak what they don't think, speak what they don't mean and it can be a fun time, a way to pass time on the net! So it happens with Chit chatting; it's more messaging and human communication if it's not used with a purpose. So have fun!

Etiquette

Chat room etiquettes requires you to be open and frank sometimes. So, chat right and do not hesitate to use the "ignore" feature there is someone in the chatroom you don't want to talk with.
If you have any concerns about messages appearing in this chat room, please report them to NYA Adult Advisor Jean Miller.

Safety

For safety purposes, never reveal your real name, location, or telephone number. There are two types of chat s- group and private. Group chats are virtual rooms filled with a whole bunch of people having various discussions at the same time. Private chats rooms are for those who wish to have their chats in a less busy setting. And although the NYA Chat is not listed in any chatroom directory, both are public forums.
