How to chat

  1. Send a Private Message to Chat with the following information:
    • Your age
    • The password you'd like to use for chat
    For security, your chat password should be different than your Disaboom password
  2. You will, then, receive a private message providing your chat login information. Just follow the steps described in the email to sign on.
  3. Review the Chat guidelines and then login, select a chat room and you're ready to go! You can now begin chatting and meeting up with new friends from the Disaboom Community.

Welcome to Chat!

One of the best things about being a member of the Disaboom community is participating in one of our free chat rooms. If you've not been in an online chat room before, you'll find them a great way to connect with others who enjoy the free-flowing exchange of conversation "in real time."

If you've already been in a disability forum on the site, you'll immediately see the difference between a forum and a chat room: in a forum, people leave their comments online, and then others comment or respond later. In chat rooms, people contribute their comments in an ongoing, "real-time" conversation much like the ones you have face-to-face.

To get started, take a look at our "How to Chat" steps on the left.

Next, take a look at our Guidelines for participating in chat rooms. Basically, it'll tell you what behaviors are acceptable – or not – in chat. Those unacceptable behaviors will get you banned, so be sure to read the Guidelines first.
