The
Chat Room Feature Has Been Removed And Will No Longer Be Available.
We
launched the chat room after we started the web site. The idea behind the chat
room was to make a safe, friendly, monitored place for girls to chat in. We
wanted this to be an alternative to the public chat rooms on the internet, where
girls could meet anyone. However, we recently received an email from a self
appointed crusader who was basically threatening us with a law suit if we kept
it open. Since the site is basically a operated as a hobby, and does not
generate any revenue at all, we can not afford to keep an attorney for very
long. Therefore, we are shutting it down.
We
are not doing this because anything is wrong, or some bad thing happened. We are
doing this because someone who does not understand the purpose behind the chat
room - that it is monitored, filtered, and participation is based on a parent's
permission, and a safe alternative for children, rather than the open, public
chat rooms - is basically threatening us.
If
there are any children out there who have parents that are attorneys and would
like to offer their services pro bono to help protect sites like ours, please
contact us at tgiardina@tsqrd.
In the meanwhile, the chat room will remain closed. All the other features will
stay open and accessible. Thank you.
