- You do not speak for the entire world ... therefore you cannot say that 'No
- one' joins these channels to talk. I do. I *like* big channels ... and
- if the scrollage gets too bad, I turn off the modes ...
-
- Lets see which channels currently have over 15 people ...
-
- *** #[$B$_$"[( 21
- *** #[$B$K$[$s 34
- *** #42 27
- Sorry ... I generally speak English.
-
- *** #taiwan 19 We Love Stefan Edberg!
- *** #asians 15 WHO WANTS SUCKER'S PHOTO??????
- *** #korea 20 Mean or blunt? bluntly mean? meaningly blunt? :P
- *** #gblf 17 The _other Gay Nineties...
- *** #amiga 29 Amiga: the computer for the creative mind.
- Too specialized ... (though sometimes any of these channels can be fun)
-
- *** #twilight_ 16 We don't need no greetings!
- Hmmm ... where else can you get /killed for talking ??? I prefer people
- who actually SAY something !
-
- *** #hottub 25 To be (*) or not to be (*) that is the question
- *** #hotsex 29 A f*cked channel
- All that's left ...
-
- Looks like the #hot* has it ...
