Indeed. The only place safe back then, because it was on a different server... I don't know if it will still be a "bomb shelter" now on the new server, though... XD
I could name names, but really it's just, well, you know. You're going to be booted because it's site policy. One experience I had, though, was this girl telling a mod about her being 11 and she said "Don't tell anyone". You know. A mod.
Also, the numbered list is more sarcastic than it should be. P:

11.) If you’re under the age of 13, don’t admit that you’re under the age of 13.
Especially to a mod.
In my opinion, I think people should. Saying that almost gives the youngsters (Lolol, yes, I just called them youngsters.) permission to behave badly. Not in a way we would think is bad because we wouldnt know their age, but it tells them its okay if youre underage, just keep it a secret. I was one of the underage brats, but after hanging out for a while, I admitted I was younger and I shouldnt have signed up until I was older, but since I was almost 13 and I was such a good little girl, I was able to stay. Thats what happened with another person I know who was underage and admitted it. You know who, lolol.
Seriously, if it weren't for Chat, I doubt I'd be even half as good of friends with everyone as I am right now. I would know considerably less about important things like Doctor Who and Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and Chack. Seriously... how did we get on with our lives without Chack?
Chat is pretty much the reason I stayed active on theO after Missy pestered me into a) making an account and b) occasionally using said account. I don't know what I would've done on this site if it weren't for the community of people I met largely through Chat. I don't think I would've kept coming back (not being artistically-minded or over the moon about anime).
So yeah. The people--the community--kept me here, and I met 'em through Chat. It's a good thing.

I stay on TheOtaku more than I would because of Chat and the amazing people I have bonded with therein.

Yeah, I was pretty sure it was sorta sarcastic, but i just wanted to put my two cents in. I really enjoyed reading the post though.

Totally forgot about the biting, but also about the whole "it's a bomb shelter" for whenever the rest of the site is borked. xD

It was a nice read, and it made me be active in chat again...
XD hahahaha... well, maybe... but at least it made me last a few minutes longer than chat would kick me out.
It has been so long, eh? I was not there when chat launched, but managed to wander in the next day when I read posts about it. I forgot... ehehehe...
Ah, good times. I don't think I would have enjoyed my stay in The O more if it was not for Chat.
(You forgot that the Chat is a fickle code/person/whatever) and getting bitten by chat ain't fun. At least mods are immune. XD

Ah yes, Chat... I do think it really has strengthened the bond between some of us, since we can all interact in real time together in the same place.
