An obituary of the Yahoo chatroom


Writing a blog purely for the heck of it is not easy, especially when the blog in question doesn't even have its own theme yet. It is therefore natural for the writer to look to any and all sources to steal from think up stuff to write about- and one of those places I decided to look at was Yahoo chatrooms, because getting off my ass and reminiscing over a walk through the woods is just not my thing. I signed into Yahoo messenger but surprisingly couldn't find Chat listed in its menu. Some detective work and this shows up-


Yahoo figured anyone dumb enough to still use Yahoo in 2013 was not worth wasting time on, and really, who can blame them for thinking that-

Don't worry, rickg155. She's already sleeping with a retard.

Yes staggs, the Yahoo chatroom is dead. If you are attractive, articulate, outgoing, rich and have an active sex life that does not involve the palm of your hand and 2 pillows, you have probably not even heard of Yahoo chatrooms. But then again, that kind of a person is just not the target audience of this kind of a blog. For those people, I would recommend Student of the Year

Yahoo chatrooms came out around ‘98. The same year, You've Got Mail hit theaters across the globe. The idea of having someone like Meg Ryan fall in love with your witty and interesting chat avatar and consequently having sex with your dull and boring real avatar was something everyone on the planet and especially in this country could relate to. Yahoo chatrooms caught on faster than an STD in a whorehouse, with everyone signing in to show off their inner beauty in search of that one true soulmate.

Even horny people need soulmates to ride their bridge damnit!

Yahoo's greatest contribution to humanity was spawning the idea of cybersex. Before the chatroom, this is what most of us would think of when we hear the words cyber and sex used together-

After yahoo, this is what cybersex came to be-
"OHFUCKYEAHTHATFELTSOOOOGOOD!"

For those of us less romantically inclined and more sexually frustrated, Yahoo chatrooms was the pressure cooker valve to the pressure cooker of our pent up perversions. At a time when pubs and clubs were yet to catch on in a big way, Yahoo gave us a means to approach the opposite sex and try out those pick-up lines we saw on STAR Movies without making complete fools of ourselves in the process. Anonymity FTW!

For others, Yahoo chatrooms was World of Warcraft years before World of Warcraft was even invented- as in you could be whoever you wanted to be. Yahoo population's demographics reported a minimum cock-length of 9 inches, and boobs came in just 2 cup sizes- D and DD.


"36DD-24-34 housewife from South Delhi, looking to hook up tonight."

As much as I have shit on Yahoo users in this article, Yahoo pulling the plug on its chatrooms is incredibly stupid, considering it was the only good thing Yahoo had going for them, for all the above-mentioned reasons. This decision is sort of like the BCCI dropping the team captain just because the whole team has been sucking ass lately. Who could possibly be retarded enough to suggest that? 

In a gender skewed country, the Yahoo chatroom gave some hope to a generation of staggs of finding a soulmate. Others used it as a form of escapism by creating alter-egos like analgirl_2000 and motalund and using it to add some excitement to their mundane lives. Still others used it to socialize and forge bonds across thousands of kilometers, the sexual nature of those bonds notwithstanding. Those with an entrepreneurial mindset even launches their own niche businesses through user IDs like hotnsexygigolo and shemale4u.

Some people start wars. Others start companies. Here they start peek shows and keyboard orgies.

While the faithful have fought back with petitions, it is safe to say we can wish Yahoo chatrooms a happy and prosperous RIP.
