Group Conversations
 
Do you have group conversations on MSN/WLM?

I do. I feel they're a way to communicate to everyone when I can't simply IM them. However, we normally only invite the same people, so it doesn't vary much.

Also, what's your opinion of them?

Melody January 27th, 2009 4:37 AM

Personally, I hate group convos. They're chaos. Most of the time things veer into the not-so-pleasant. Even worse, I hate it when someone invites me into a group convo without even asking me first.

Inviting me to a group convo without asking pisses me off! Big time. I dont even stay long. I'll just yell at everyone to ask first before adding me. Because it's really annoying. >O

Other than that, it's fine...if you ask before you add people to the convo and if you dont add anyone without talking to them and asking them first. Other than that...it's just rude.

I only had a few group convos. Mostly it can get confusing and annoying. It's hard to understand who any comment is directed towards.

Yes, they are a way of communicating alright. But most of the times when I'm dragged into one without being told, it turns out that someone else is in the convo too, who happens to be someone I don't want to talk to. Personally, one to one convos are the best in my opinion. They're a nice way to get to know someone.

I do occasionally start multi-use conversations if I need to talk to them about an outing or something similar. I can't stand any with more than six people though.

Gummy January 27th, 2009 6:10 AM

I used to, but I don't even talk to enough people on MSN to sustain a group conversation these days.

Shiny January 27th, 2009 6:13 AM

I tend to join in on group convo's with you when I'm on msn, other than that, I don't have group convo's with friends or anybody else.

Tokin January 27th, 2009 6:15 AM

all the time, always with close friends, it's an everyday thing^^

Soul Eater January 27th, 2009 6:50 AM

I like having them with my friends, yes. I hate being added to random group convos with people I don't know. It tends to make me really nervous. DX

My boyfriend usually likes them too. XD At least, when I add our most closest friends but sometimes they don't go well and die. D: So we end up leaving or just talking amongst ourselves. XD

the bitter end. January 27th, 2009 7:18 AM

On xat, not on MSN or AIM or anything...

♣Gawain♣ January 27th, 2009 7:22 AM

Not a group "conversationer", I hardly chat at the internet at all. O.o

Signomi January 27th, 2009 8:50 AM

I partake in group conversations with two or three people very often, which is really how I prefer it to be rather than the insanely massive conversations. I don't mind group convos at all, but I'm already so used to talking to people one-to-one in a regular conversation rather than in a group.

Evilyn January 27th, 2009 11:38 AM

Yeah, sometimes, it depends if someone adds me there, I almost never make them myself. But I hate those with a lot of people in them, normally I just leave those.

Legobricks January 27th, 2009 11:43 AM

I do, I even stick around in (but seldom actually talk in) random ones made by some spastic nutcase friend of mine that decides to add everyone on their list.

Sebastien Loeb January 27th, 2009 12:03 PM

Personally hate the groups of conversation MSN/WLM there is indeed too confusion in similar conversations

Her January 27th, 2009 12:04 PM

yes yes yes yes
As long as theres not just pure stupidity, then I use group chats.

"Pass It On" group chat ftw.

Percy Thrillington January 27th, 2009 1:03 PM

I hardly ever partake in them and when I do it's normally not the most enjoyable experience. Getting thrown into a group chat filled with twelve people is just madness. No quality discussion takes place in it so I figure it's not worth my time. I will, however, talk to maybe three or four people if I need to discuss a roleplay or important matters. I prefer one-on-one conversations to group chats though. They're simple, calm and you can have a proper chat much more easily than you would in a group conversation.

Aizuke January 27th, 2009 1:06 PM

Seeing as how I'm usually the group conversation maker, of course I do.

My opinion about them? To me, they're like the same as getting together with a bunch of friends and having a chat. (lol duh, since technically that's what it is) Minus the dramas that happen, and whatever else that goes wrong in them, I still enjoy having my daily group conversation. Though I do enjoy one on one convos, usually they get neglected when a group conversation arises. XD;;

Capt. Couch January 27th, 2009 1:13 PM

Urgh. Never. They always turn into a chaotic crapstorm where everybody has to guess at which response was directed at which person. In the end, we gain nothing.

Camisado January 27th, 2009 1:24 PM

I like to choose whether I want to be in there or not. I don't like being added without asking, but I am likely to say yes if I've been asked. I do express my distaste when added.

Funnily enough, I do choose to enter IRC rooms that are full of people =P

Beelzebub January 27th, 2009 2:40 PM

Group MSN convos are fun, imo. If it's people I know, of course. If I don't know the people, it gets kinda strange for me :x but usually, I rarely have 6 or more people in the convo. I mostly just have one or two unless I'm high. Then I'm the one who makes the big convos, oh yeah yeah. ;DDD

Gunn January 27th, 2009 5:46 PM

No.

But I did.

Just once.

To see what is was like.

I was left out and ignored.

Then again ...

I was with people that I didn't know.

So,

I should have known better. I now only have group convos with my IRL friends since they're the only people I talk online to anyways (and they're the only ones on my friends list).

Rioku_Zanketa January 27th, 2009 5:55 PM

In all my years of traveling the internet, I've yet to even understand how to activate it. I've only been a few, and that was only because that certain forum had the chat capability. I'm never able to get onto chat with anything else.

Guillermo January 27th, 2009 10:47 PM

No, I don't. That Guillermo guy seems pretty cool, though. :3.

Yes, I am. I'm in them quite a lot. :3

They're fun and have awesome topics.. most of the time. XD;

Conman January 28th, 2009 12:46 AM

I don't intentionally unless it's mandatory. Usually I'm forced into group conversations. I'm ok with 3 or 4 people in all, but I hate those with like 10 random people, half you don't even know.

I'm very rarely on MSN these days, but when I used to be more active on it, I used to get included in group conversations all the time. At the beginning, they were a good way to meet new people, but now, I really don't like them. They are mass chaos, with everyone talking at once. And since I also multi-task while on, I miss half of what is said.

So I used to like them, and now I don't.
