I found Chat on my puter in 1999, started looking for a room where I could make some friends, well that is what I did, I went into #Dusk_Till_Dawn and was made feel right at home, a girl by the nick Linedncr owned the room at that time, I had no clue as to what an op was or anything, I started learning by watching the room, I wasn't much of a chatter, but loved to watch, I became an op and at that point was still learning, well the owner of the room decided to close the room :( it wasn't a happy day for anyone), we all thought we would lose touch of one another. so I decided to reopen the room, a friend of mine, Paintman, helped/showed me how to go about getting the room, so we did just that and #Dusk_Till_Dawn has been home now form May 8th 1999 , Chat is a fun place to be, although I have seen friends come and go for many a reasons, MY first tip on chat is to keep a open mind you will be chatting with folks from all over the world {everyone isnt the same} 2nd tip don't get in the middle of any room politics its not heathy, if you become a room owner ya cant help but to get in it,... just keep a cool head and don't take sides...I have seen rooms close or go in to roomsplits, its sad but true, so what im saying is go chat to have fun and meet folks from around the world.....you will grow   to love the folks you chat with even hate some, might even fall in love, I did, My husband and myself met in #Dusk_Till_Dawn :) we got married October 20th 2001...well this page is about Pirch but what I have said ya need ta know also...A friend Gman showed me Pirch and told me how to get it goin, I have used pirch for ever, I have tried other Chat Programs but just didn't like em like I do Pirch with Pik_4_98 added, hope you enjoy chatting and pirch as much as I do :)))
