UK Chatterbox www.ukchatterbox.co.uk

Could be a great site. Sadly the owner isn't running it. The leaders and sheep are. They choose who stays and who goes. If you don't mould yourself to agree with you're out. They literally gang up and make you feel bad. You either retaliate and you get banned or you just leave as not welcome. Women in 50s-60s are vile and the ones in 30s-40s are the sheep. Then even worse there are men who are old who actually start aswell with the rest of the clique.

This is on main can't talk about the ones who talk private as you get abuse if you ask if anyone wants to talk private. The old women start assuming you want something other than chat. The way I have witnessed the abuse given to other women is really bad by the women. I hope the owner gets paid well by these types as they are choosing who stays and who goes from it.

I joined ukcb as it was a student chat someone had shared a link with me on my course and it was great, I loved it and met many wonderful people on there. A couple I met in real life and I have some lush memories, especially meeting sk8erboy (gorgeous guy and personality) and some others, but meeting poptones was a decision that I wished I didn’t make. He was nice for five mins and at first so nervous I felt sorry for him (until booze chugging started). I couldn’t quite make out what was going on back then… but he turned out to be a completely false person in real life, quite a nasty misogynistic guy with really abusive things to say and unfortunately do. I was warned about many a time by different users, but I did not listen and still went ahead to meet him. He had multiple personality accounts on the site, and used them to gain information that he thought he couldn’t get as ‘poptones’. If anyone is out there and was hurt by this man, I am posting this info strictly so that you know that you are not alone. Moderators we’re always very good and there were some highly funny times on the forums on nights when I couldn’t afford to go out as a student, all the girls lady genie ambercat leejun junny and many more were a laugh and a half. I was studying towards my later in life goal of being a therapist, and sometimes used skills that I was learning with people on the chat when they were having hard times, I do hope that everybody is doing well. UKCB was great, it was a lawyer spot before social media that I am glad that I caught because it was a lot of fun. To all I knew at UKCB, wishing you the best of absolutely everything in life. Look after yourselves.

In all honesty I always expected UKCB to be resurrected, it had a large following and could have been a commercial goldmine.. or maybe tin mine with advertising revenue. It needed more prawn (think about it), especially involving sheep for the welsh, martian prawn (hmmm) for the Scotts and maybe an undertaker for those who just sat in the online list and never posted. Better still they could have had a sales forum for Filipino brides that could also offer short term leases for the over 65s. But no... it went away.. like Woolworths, the other entity that failed to sell women to perverts.. Over 65s are rich, Filipino girls are 3 for a fiver... Just no vision.. Cheerio..

UkChatterbox used to be a fantastic site. Lots of people signed in at the same time, and plenty of 'popular' rooms to go and get involved in.

However, at some point (around the start of 2015), the moderators started really losing their impartiality, especially in the two most popular rooms.

A growing 'clique' of 'regular chatters' started being able to dictate what was allowed to be discussed. If they didn't like it, they'd attack the person trying to make conversation, to the point where the person being attacked would get a ban for trying to defend themselves.

When queried, I was simply told it's easier to ban one person, than ban the 'group', and that as 'regulars' they were offered more leeway in their overall sense of 'chat'.

I didn't agree with this, and tried to get it changed. However, my actions didn't go unnoticed by the 'clique' and several fraudulent claims were made about my character and rationale for seeking chat. This got to the point where people were actively avoiding chatting to me, in order to not associate themselves with someone the 'clique' didn't like.

Eventually, after months of complaining, the 'clique' members were given a warning for their actions, but it didn't stop them. They just made complaints themselves about being persecuted.

In the end, one of the moderators left, and it got worse and worse. Anyone who didn't go along with the 'clique' mentality were continually attacked, or slagged off when they weren't in chat. It got to the point where 95% of the conversation was dedicated to discussing people not in the 'room' at the time, and what would happen when he/she came in!

I ended up receiving a permanent ban after I apparently 'offended' a moderator. No warning, just had my account deleted.

been waiting all day to chat on the site kept getting the message will be back on in a few hours waited and tried again still the same response tried again 4 hours later and still same message tried one more time at 9pm still the same message not the first time this has happened why dont they buck up their ideas

Quite interesting to read what happened to UK Chatterbox (UKCB), so UK Chatters, you could say has replaced it.

The website crashes on a regular basis and I never seem to know why. It seems that many people have the same problem. Could be Windows, Flash Player (I've used Internet Explorer and Google Chrome). But the website was fine with Windows 7, but not with Windows 8.1. Could it be that? I've no idea. UKCB didn't crash much, so why UK Chatters crashes a lot is anyone's guess.

In the chatrooms, you can ignore people, so that they can't private message (PM) you, which is a good option. You can add people to your block list from your profile, but you can only do that if you view their probile. But, if someone has set their profile to private, there is no way of adding them to your blocklist, not even the option to type in their username.

Other than that, it's a great chatsite. It's more profile based than UKCB. It attracts different classes of people, most of which are odd, but that's probably the case with every chatsite there's ever been. What I always find odd about chatsites is that most people who're logged on (in the rooms), they don't chat. And the ones that do chat, most turn out to be odd or stop chatting.

I think it is fair to say that UKChatterbox has gone for good. The main guy who owned it lost interest years ago and was mostly busy with other things. OK the team could solve small problems but not big ones.

The team of staff were dedicated volunteers and the majority of them tried their very best to make it a nice place to be. The forums were great, the chat rooms were a nightmare, but we tried.

Then one day an oiky and malcontented geek used his secret powers to try and destroy the site. Against the odds he succeeded. He is now in prison.

Great site to chat and pass time when it was up, made plenty of friends there, and was staff there.

It could've done with a much more active interest from the original founders, who just seemed to pass the running onto "network/operations managers" who had no idea of the internet, technical aspects of running sites or IRC, and whose purpose just seemed to be to keep it running.

They did this, the only problem was it was running for nearly 10 years with very little changes to the websites code itself, the server it was based on was never improved even though the amount of registered users went from 400 to 2 million. Clearly there was still not much more than 2000 on at peak-times, but that's a pretty hefty database size.

The moderation was based around a good training program, but all too-often, staff deviated, creating inconsistency, pissed-off users and just an increasing number of trouble-makers.

The attitude towards moderating was never really updated to keep up with how people were using the internet differently, just look at recent news stories featuring Twitter and Ask.FM for an idea of what I'm referring to.

As for the various reports of it's resurrection, they're all rubbish, as proved, I'm curious as to whether that's even the real Stevie1978, or just spicy picking a nickname that was well known for being one of the weak-links that allowed people to get on as a staff username in the first place.

As for the renewal of the domains, that means sod all, the Amlani brothers used to make a living out of just buying domains and sitting on them, so ofc they're not going to let them expire, and 2/3 years ago they were renewed over a week late. I suspect Blaster since set them to auto-rewew (yawn).

I never wanted UKCB to stop running, and I never set-out to "replace" it, a site that looks, feels and provides exactly what UKCB did is just around the corner, barring a bit more time and a video of lady_genie eating some humble pie after the lame attempt at bullying and acting like she knew anything at the time, back-fired.

i was on this site years ago,was curious as to whether it was still up and running.After googling,i found a video which shows how the site admins kept all the pics people uploaded. Many of them unsuitable for profile pics (pornographic?) the user was lead to believe that the pics weren't accepted.They were,however,kept.Bit naughty that?
