We used to have to queue up to get in, as the chatrooms were limited to 100 chatters at one time. - Posted from rhpmobile

I know what you mean Dynamic... I remember back in the day there were 2 top rooms and you always struggled to get into the top one sitting at 100 chatters because you had to click 'join' over and over hoping someone would come out and you would get their spot. In the end once you gave up on that, you'd go over to the state rooms and chat to locals. Nowadays the chat room us lucky to have 30-50 people in it site wide. Even then there are that many in the room but only 2 or 3 actually chatting. It's crazy! I would have thought that people complaining they aren't getting attention via profiles or messages, would go to the chat rooms to start mingling and use that as a source but it's like its all forgotten about.

Is there a mobile app ? The web app is only useful when I am home. - Posted from rhpmobile

Maybe there is more and more websites to choose from, I think it would be better if we all just met at the pub - Posted from rhpmobile

Tried on my mobile one so it was the text. Just saw a whole pile of random crap flying across the screen that made no sense. Not into camming so the forums felt the best fit. Never tried chatting one on one, I usually leave that until I've moved to Kik with someone.

I used to go in a couple of years ago but stopped. I pop my head in the rooms for texting as I'm not comfortable camming, but everyone seems to know each other and fairly lost in conversation with each other so I log out. I've never been one for group chatting unless it's in forums. I'm more one on one.

That'll be why I haven't seen it. I do use other chat sites and then also move to kik if we click. I don't get on the pc much so chats probably out. Shame really. - Posted from rhpmobile

The chat room was a great place to catch up with mutual friends and make friends with interstate people. For me it just turned into too many cams with men wanking on them. People hitting you up for a private chat the second you entered the chat room. It used to be more social and fun. I know alot of Perth people just created private facebook groups and now interact that way instead. Times change and one by one the people who made it fun have left. :(

Yeah the mobile app is pretty limited and I don't think it has the chat function anymore but if you log in via a web browser, its definitely there. My advice if you want to view and show your cam, best to log in via a computer/lappy. The text is able to be used on a mobile device so that's handy if you are on a tablet or phone but you don't get the full cam experience if that is what you are looking for. There are couples, females and males on cams so it all depends on what you are after. Most of us want a friendly place to go to have a laugh and meet new people and that's what we have tried to make it.... not to mention welcoming to new people who haven't used the site or the chat room before. If you are on a computer, its listed as Webcam Chat at the far right hand side of the page in the options (Home, Mailbox, Forums etc) Come in and say Hi!!

Not to mention its good to have a conversation in real time with those you may get to meet at the meet and greets rather than a general poster in the forums or someone who just looks at the site and doesn't interact.

For the entire time of my presence on here, I have only used the chat rooms twice. The first time it happened was literally on the first night I signed up to RHP, which was four years ago, and I got picked up by a nice man and we hit it off really well. The guy and I remained friends for a while and then we both moved on when our priorities changed. The second time I wandered back there was four months ago, met a real scumbag and had a really horrible experience, which put some damages on me in the real world! Therefore, I now have no more interest in going back there, and I don't care if there are genuine and nice men in the chat rooms! It is just not worth it anymore, for me anyway! - Posted from rhpmobile

Weird and clicky. I say hi, nobody says hi back. Then you get a bunch on guys living not even in the same city, wanting to PM and ask you for more pics *yawn. - Posted from rhpmobile

That was how you got to meet more people on this site. It was a hell of a lot more fun just joining in the group conversation and shenanigans than the awkward "first contact" messages haha. I think a lot of the people that I used to chat with just drifted away from the site - either losing interest in it or getting into monogamous relationships

I'm with Wicca, log in, already mature conversations scrolling along down the page, depending on how many are in there it's hard to keep up especially when there's numerous conversations going on. Time to log out. Chat rooms were good back in the days of Napster lol, when I had the time and could be bothered really. These days, let's chat one on one.

As it was a great way to catch up with interstate friends. But as MsSilk says (hello there!!) there are other groups using different communication groups now. It certainly has taken the fun out of it, I used to enjoy the banter and miss it.

We made friends with probably around 90% of the people on our friends list through the vhatroom before meeting them in real life. Unfortunately those days are dead and buried. It used to be a great little community, but times have changed and people have moved on. Is a bit of a shame as it was a great way to meet people from interstate that you could catch up with when there. But like RHP itself, it seems people are moving on to greener pastires and moving with the times.

I actually met so many sexy lovers through the chat room and it was a great laugh! I use to like teasing on Webcam. I also remember seeing some fucked up stuff but it was awesome! ! - Posted from rhpmobile

I'm not sure many know, that there is even a chat room, which one can log into via lappy or mobile. It's not really advertised that much on the site. I've met some great people via chat room. I like it cause it's instant chit chat, and know a lot of rregulars, I've got to know on personal basis. Yes, conversations can be fast and overwhelming for a first timer. It happened to me too. However if they jumped in and say "I'm new to this, it's overwhelming me", most regulars will say welcome and give support. I've seen that happen a fair bit over time. I remember years ago, the rooms were full. But you're right OP, it has slowed down. I think people move on, not get their expectations met, or it's not for them. Yes, there can be rude people in there, but they usually do not stay long. Ms Foxy

It's free and safe entertainment, although there are certainly many weirdos/psychos, but then that is probably to be expected on a site like this. We just laugh at some of the things that people say and the lengths that they go to, to try and get what they want. One just has to not take it all too seriously. It is still possible to chat using ones iPhone, by going to the desktop version, then webcam chat, then text only chat . We used to put on a tasteful little webcam show now and then, but no longer do so due to the amount of disrespectful, lewd comments by the would be directors. The chatrooms are now pretty dead. We think most chatters have either left on their own accord (when they realised that would not be getting the promised sex) or were simply chased out by the weirdos - Posted from rhpmobile

I didnt even know there was a chatroom. I thought there was only webcam, which I am not interested in. Time to go looking.

I used to go to chat rooms here many moon years ago. Lots of chatters and the room cater up to 100. I used to know many people there at that time... Until, RHP upgraded its new RHP chat room format... and guess what, noone goes there since then... I haven't seen anyone I once knew that goes there. Right now, I am disliking the RHP chat room format... So, I am not surprised that not many uses the chat room these days... s3d :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

Well we've been waiting for this topic to rear its head. Chat these days holds little to no interest for most people that live outside of W.A, the reason being most of Australia have no idea RHP even exists. Lack of advertising and marketing outside of W.A means very few people actually join this site when others are so well advertised. We have been members on and off here for over 10yrs both together and separately and unfortunately it's lost it's mojo as have we with this site. While we won't close this account but we won't pay for membership until we see the site has made an effort to get new and interesting people from our region.

It was a great place to go once, to either join in or just enjoy the banter. Then RHP changed the format & totally stuffed it. Shame really, there were some very funny people on there.

As long time RHP'ers...the chat room has certainly changed...particularly in the last few years. Have noticed that there has been a rise in criticism towards people/persons for petty reasons like incorrect grammar, spelling errors, and a lewd comment. Accusations of fake profiles and criticism of the chat room members and their etiquette seems to dominate the general discussions. This is a swingers/sex site so what do you expect. Of course there is always going to be different expectations of what people on this site seek but we have been privy to many a chat room conversation that degrades a "person " for what we believe are trivial. Seems that the chat room is transforming to a public slander room. Shame..."coz" nobody is perfect. - Posted from rhpmobile

I am hoping that Admin are possibly reading this and taking suggestions/comments/complaints on board and possibly have a way to change the way the site is being run. It's a shame because it has so much potential like it used to back in the day but without the right 'captain' the ship will go under.

Don't really know if admin can be entirely responsible for the lack of chat /participation in the RHP rooms anymore. Seems that people are different too. Expectations have evolved too. Appears that the "good ol days " were then and this is now. Lot unsaid about the car keys in the bowl lol. - Posted from rhpmobile

I still go on irc. But lets face it the rhp desktop website is less discrete. Either chat integration in to the already terrible app or a separate app would be good. A lot of open source chat apps on github as well so development and integration in to the desktop site chat may not be difficult. Ideally completely replacing it with a webapp would be easier. Yeah no webcam, but that can be done when privacy can be achieved on the desktop site like is mentioned. You can get to the desktop site from a mobile but it isnt very functional 😔 Seems most ladies I have met throw their kik username at you the first chance they get. So numbers dropping sitewise and chatwise could just be due to the fact that people expect more usability in this day and age. RHP hasnt seemed to have changed much over the many years it has been around. - Posted from rhpmobile
