WinMx Chat
The WinMx Chat functionality has
attracted a world-wide base of dedicated hosts who have been hosting
(some of them) on WinMx for several years. Some people use
WinMx only for the Chat. There are numerous programs available
for WinMx called Chat Clients that allow you to enjoy all the Chat
functionality of WinMx along with other, specialized developments
without ever having to share any files. You can participate
WinMx Chat without ever sharing one file.
Typically, on any given day, there are 1500-2000 chat rooms open
on WinMx. The chat rooms generally have one prominent focus,
such as movie trading rooms, music trading rooms, religious and
political rooms, or help rooms. Keep in mind that in order to
stay in some rooms you must meet any requirements set out by the
host which are usually posted to you upon entry. Some such
requirements include file sharing minimums, mandatory file-types
(e.g. avi), language restrictions, etc.
Hosts of chat rooms have the ability to mute, kick or ban any
user they choose from their channel. Also, hosts are able to
share these powers with users in their channels, forming hierarchies
of power, in order to maintain a room's ethos. In the chat
rooms you may see people with symbols beisde their names such as "@"
and "+" which denote a rank in the chat room and are associated with
channel command access. These are called administrators (@)
and moderators (+).
Some of the various Chat Clients available for use on WinMx, that
do not come equipped with a file-sharing functionality, are RoboMx,
Ouka Chat Client and Nushi Chat Client. Generally, their
appearance and functionality are more customizeable than the
standard WinMx program and many users of the WinMx program also use
the Chat Clients as well.
Upload managers are also available for WinMx to micro-manage the
files you share and how they are shared. One such program
called the LeechHammer automatically keeps your files from being
shared with people who have no files shared (leeches). Keep in
mind though, most all of us were leeches at one point, and today's
leech may well be tomorrow's top sharer.
Another common Chat Client employed by chat room hosts on WinMx
is a Bot. Bots on WinMx are chat clients that can be enabled
to do a variety of tasks in a chat room automatically, or with
simple commands. Bots can be programmed to provide timed
trivia questions while maintaining user scores for correct answers.
Also, they can be programmed to execute functions based on what is
typed in a chat room. For instance, a Bot could be programmed
to kick from a room anyone who uses profanity, so long as the
unacceptable words are programmed into the Bot for recognition.
Bots can also be used to automatically set users' access levels upon
their entry to a room, by name or IP number recognition.
Numerous help rooms on WinMx utilize Bots to provide pre-recorded
information to frequently asked questions from their guests.
An attractive feature about WinMx Chat is that there is no
central control whatsoever over any of the rooms' content.
Only the host of the room himself/herself can moderate their room.
This lack of central authority allows for a true free speech
environment where anyone can host a chat room about any subject,
with no censorship whatsoever, by anyone.
There are plenty of foreign language rooms on WinMx, including
Japanese, French, German and Italian. There are sex rooms,
singles rooms, occult rooms, teen rooms, gay rooms, anime rooms and
many more. If you only planned on using WinMx for
file-sharing, check out the WinMx chat because thousands of loyal
WinMx users chat primarily on WinMx. If you are apprehensive
about sharing files, then avail yourself of the Chat Clients
available on this site and join WinMx Chat with no concurrent legal
risk of file-sharing. And remember, many of the chat rooms on
WinMx have a friendly, family atmosphere with some rooms maintaining
members for several years. Enjoy WinMx Chat!
