The online chat website www.omegle.com/ has shut down. Just wondering, anyone ever use it? How was it...besides the creepy guys they always seemed to pop up |

Was aware of it, but never used it. Surprised it survived as long as it did, honestly. It looked pretty dated for 2009. But I'm kind of sad to see it go, too, because it feels like it's a victim of the homogenization of the internet. There's no more need for it because so many bigger services do the same or similar.

Where will we all go now to get bombarded with unsolicited D pics?  |

I actually did use it. I actually came across it pretty much the first week it was online but didn't go back for a long time after that. I used the video feature no more than a few times for obvious reasons, but there was a period when the text version was a good way of passing time after I was let go from a job and found myself at a loose end a lot.
The interactions were mixed, but it could be a lot of fun too. A lot of awful people, others I clicked with, a couple I'm still in contact with now, and one who had a massive effect on me for better or for worse and who I'll probably carry with me in some way or another for the rest of my life.

Used it a lot back in the older days of the site and there's a weird part of me that hates to see it go as it did help me in some troubling times back then, but yeah this is for the best. I stopped using it because it turned into nothing but bots, weirdos, and antisymmetric douche bags.
Huh... Sounds familiar...
