E-chat in Review

One huge strength of E-chat is its no-nonsense, straight up registration process. Signing up does not require any email addresses, personal information, credit card information or any information at all. You just simply have to type in your preferred username, input a secure password and re-type it to confirm the password.

Faster than you can say "chat", you now have a fully functioning account where you can go chat to your heart's content. This, however, can be a double-edged sword since having a quick registration with not even a slight vetting can also mean that anyone can create an account. There is little to virtually no security.

Of course, there are no questions about your identity or whatsoever but do take extra precaution when talking to others. With no security in the site, you never know when you just might be talking to a scammer or worse!

Chatrooms are the main highlight of E-chat. What sets E-chat apart from other messengers is the availability of chatrooms. But what are they? These are similar to group chats but with a specific theme. For example, the site has topic-specific group chats about LGBTQ, sex, depression, sports, anime, basically anything under the sun.

You get the idea. You can join a bunch of groups and you don't have to pay a single cent for it. You can be talking about anime on one chatroom and about sexual awakenings on the next. E-chat's chatrooms are diverse in topics.

If for some reason, you cannot find a chatroom that caters to your undiscovered interests, you can create your own! It is quite easy. Just click on the "Create new chatroom" option found on the bottom part of the page and name your room.

Here's a tip, you will need to invite people to your chatroom, otherwise it will be forever empty! To invite people to your chatroom, you will need to send the link of your chatroom to other members. As a chatroom owner, you will get access to the moderator panel, where you can customise your chatroom. In addition to that, you will be able to kick/ban people and remove messages from the chat.

What gives E-chat a slight edge is its active and numerous members. Upon logging in, we have joined several chatrooms and have received 3 private messages in each one on average. With the premise that anyone can meet anyone here, you are bound to have good conversations and some rotten ones. If you've lucked out on a good conversation with someone, your chat history will not be deleted therefore you can go reread your conversation or message the person again.

Joining a chatroom and participating in the group conversation is a great way of acquainting yourself with the community. But more about the chatrooms later. By joining one, you will automatically appear online to everybody in that chatroom. They would immediately be sending you private messages (did we already mention E-chat's very eager and active members?) to strike up a conversation with you. You get to see who's online in real time there.
