I joined ukcb as it was a student chat someone had shared a link with me on my course and it was great, I loved it and met many wonderful people on there. A couple I met in real life and I have some lush memories, especially meeting sk8erboy (gorgeous guy and personality) and some others, but meeting poptones was a decision that I wished I didn’t make. He was nice for five mins and at first so nervous I felt sorry for him (until booze chugging started). I couldn’t quite make out what was going on back then… but he turned out to be a completely false person in real life, quite a nasty misogynistic guy with really abusive things to say and unfortunately do. I was warned about many a time by different users, but I did not listen and still went ahead to meet him. He had multiple personality accounts on the site, and used them to gain information that he thought he couldn’t get as ‘poptones’. If anyone is out there and was hurt by this man, I am posting this info strictly so that you know that you are not alone. Moderators we’re always very good and there were some highly funny times on the forums on nights when I couldn’t afford to go out as a student, all the girls lady genie ambercat leejun junny and many more were a laugh and a half. I was studying towards my later in life goal of being a therapist, and sometimes used skills that I was learning with people on the chat when they were having hard times, I do hope that everybody is doing well. UKCB was great, it was a lawyer spot before social media that I am glad that I caught because it was a lot of fun. To all I knew at UKCB, wishing you the best of absolutely everything in life. Look after yourselves.

In all honesty I always expected UKCB to be resurrected, it had a large following and could have been a commercial goldmine.. or maybe tin mine with advertising revenue. It needed more prawn (think about it), especially involving sheep for the welsh, martian prawn (hmmm) for the Scotts and maybe an undertaker for those who just sat in the online list and never posted. Better still they could have had a sales forum for Filipino brides that could also offer short term leases for the over 65s. But no... it went away.. like Woolworths, the other entity that failed to sell women to perverts.. Over 65s are rich, Filipino girls are 3 for a fiver... Just no vision.. Cheerio..

I think it is fair to say that UKChatterbox has gone for good. The main guy who owned it lost interest years ago and was mostly busy with other things. OK the team could solve small problems but not big ones. The team of staff were dedicated volunteers and the majority of them tried their very best to make it a nice place to be. The forums were great, the chat rooms were a nightmare, but we tried. Then one day an oiky and malcontented geek used his secret powers to try and destroy the site. Against the odds he succeeded. He is now in prison. I am Dragon.

Dragon this is sad news about ukcb, some of us regs have been hoping for ages that it would return, we miss ukcb and everyone :(
If the malcontented geek is who I think it is then I'm glad he got what he deserved.
For many, ukcb was their only source of socialising and that has been
destroyed for them.
No other chat site will ever replace ukcb.
Take care Dragon,
best regards to you,
Ladygenie.

I agree that it is sad news especially after over a decade of being in service. In the end though I think it has proven too complicated, time-consuming and expensive to put it back together.
I was in regular weekly contact with Blaster (The owner) while he was trying to rebuild the site on a new hosting site. he was experiencing many problems though and each solution seemed to throw up a bigger problem.
It is now some 9 months since I last heard anything from him so I must surmise that it is gone for good. Some months ago the Google Group on which the staff used to keep in touch has also gone. Sadly I am quite confident that he has given up.
Regards to everyone out there.
Dragon.
Written on: 03/01/2014
It does seem that way now and even more so with the Google Group being closed.
Why don't you try to build it? Maybe Blaster would sell the domain to you?
Regardless of what some ppl say there are many ppl who would return to ukcb like a shot, a lot of them are not as happy with the sites they're using now.
Maybe give it thought?

hey,
just finished reading your review of uk chatterbox. I used to frequent it alot back in the day, had met some nice people actually. It would be good to reconnect with some of them but where to start is the problem.
As a rough guess, I used it around 15 years ago....

UKChatterbox is the best chat website there is, I've been a member on and off over the years, and there is no other website that can beat UKChatterbox for the friendly and helpful staff, the ease of navigation, and there are plenty of friendly members there too :) Da Guru who seems to know a lot of UKCB's history is obviously a jealous chat website owner or a friend of a website owner who wants people to join his website, bad luck, people prefer UKChatterbox and always will lol! So if anyone out there is looking for a good and longstanding chat website and a long list of chat rooms....UKChatterbox is the place to be :) It gets 5 stars from me. Ladygenie.
Written on: 08/12/2012
How is ukchatterbox the place to be when its not up and running....... I tried it and it just says it will be back!!!!!!!!
Written on: 10/12/2012
It is coming back Wee_myst, their servers were badly attacked, and the servers stopped all traffic. It's not UKCB's fault that they're offline, it's the person who caused it.
How long it will be before UKCB is back online is anyone's guess, but I'm guessing we will see a stronger UKCB returning :)
In the meantime honey, if you and any others haven't found a temporary chat site to use, I've set up one in the hope that anyone UKCB'ers have lost contact with their online pals, they'll find their way to the site....I must stress that the site is not in any way attempting to replace UKCB. Miikk, Jo888, Toxic, Niagara_Falls, myself, DNA, Just_myra, King_Tiger are there...others have the link but obviously this is a hetic time of year lol!
But you are very welcome to check the site out honey and use the chat room with any others you're in touch with and can bring along.
If I see you before UKCB returns, have a lovely Christmas Wee_Myst xx
Best wishes Ladygenie xx

ye so right there a long list of chat rooms indeed most lol dont have a single chatter in all day or night...other rooms full of lurkers no chat from them wat soever..... pointless so ye u carry on with ur own make believe..cos when it hits u in the nose you still cant see it :)and well.. 55 posts cant be wrong lol thing is i have the backbone to get rid of them in my chatroom.. for life if need be... ukcb policy is to target the decent chatters..and allow the idiots to run riot fact so no matter how you dress it up its still..one of the worst run chat sites in the uk :) FACT my admin and moderators our fair and firm .... but treat adults like adults... as it shud be :) but hey ho you dont even chat in any of the chatrooms so how u can give ur expert views beggars belief but thats to be expected of you :) lol
Written on: 19/01/2013
Looools!! Enjoy being in charge of your own chat room Soulseeker, but wait and see what happens when UKCB is back lol!!
UKCB has more facilities than any other chat site, also has a vast amount of users from all over the world and regardless of what time zone users are in, there's always some ppl online at UKCB and that's what ppl look for, someone to chat to....as for lurkers, every chat site and chat room has them, staff can't do anything until the lurkers have been reported for something they've done.
If your attitude is to get rid of them just for sitting there and reading chat room convos or posts on the forums, then you haven't a clue about good administration or public relations, providing a public service to ppl is not about controlling ppl to behave to your own standards or expect them to have the same opinion as well.
A lesson you will soon learn one day I think :)

lolol omg now that made me roar laffing typical !!!!! coming from genie... lolol omg im so laffing ..the one who never uses chatrooms anymore and just uses the forums to bully and post her own tirade of abuse....shes well in with the owner always name dropping (really sad tbh) its ful of abuse very poor and weak mods..and take no notice of genie..... she gets free internet connection for writing such utter rubbish all of wich is totally untrue... sue me if its not ?? dare you

Soulseeker get a life. I'm not well in as you say with the owner or any of the admin staff, and me a bully?
Take a good look in the mirror Soulseeker, you were the one who was harassing me just because I didn't agree with your comments about UKCB.
Anyway, seeing as you're still unhappy about UKCB, I take it you won't be returning to it?
Btw, you're right, I do get free internet, you get good package deals from my internet provider, just recently gone fibre optic, speed is so fast, and all free, good eh? :D

There are alot of arrogant argumentative people who look down on the lesser educated chat users- I'd liken it to bullying -the moderators do nothing about this, ukchatterbox is a free site for whoever including educated ,uneducated, all races, all religeons and all walks of life. The few regulars seem to pick out a chosen few and gang up and stick together and "bully" the newcommer without any warnings or punishment from the mods. the mods do a very bad job.
Written on: 18/11/2012
I agree. mods are the main problem of this chatsite! they need clearer rules though, maybe it is not all their fault. there is a very vague rule which practically gives them freedom to do whatever they want and they do abuse it!
Written on: 19/11/2012
I dont agree.... PPl make up a chat site not mods.. Yes , there are a few rude ppl on it but if anyone has any backbone they should be able to handle them without blaming the mods...What is the block key for? Ive been called a few low names in the past on it but ive never ran to any mods.. Im an adult not a child, why would i run telling tales like a two year old expecting someone else to sort it, dont think so.....

Hello rebkey,
Im great thanks. HOws u? Not missing it at all to be honest.. Think all the crashing these past lot of weeks sickened me of it. lolYou could be right over the mod thing , i never had any dealings with them. Anyone that bored me i just put them on ignore l:) Only thing that is annoying me at the minute is my windows live account, i cant get on to read mail , so not a happy woman .... Is yours working?
Written on: 22/11/2012
lol, ok :) . i am good. I miss it a bit, but I had time to concentrate on other things that need to be done :)
hotmail crashes a lot, but try opening it through a different browser, like firefox for example, not sure which one you use, but google chrome crashes a lot. try a different one than the one you use. I use hotmail a lot, but I think a lot of problems that i have are due to chrome as well.
yeah ignore button i like best lol
Written on: 22/11/2012
I think it crashing has did a lot of ppl favours in catching up with things that they have been putting off, myself included..Maybe this year i will get my tree up and presents bought in plenty of time while the site is down :) I will try what u said and use firefox as i am using chrome , so , fingers crossed.... Rebkey was your name Rebeka on ukcb ?

as a ukchatterbox chatter i find that as its an adult aged based chatroom we are treated like school kids we cant have jovial chat on anything even late at night as for the so called administrator of these room named jackal i find him to be biast and over using his power claiming we have no rights to have a laugh or able to state out complaints if we have any and think laws even for chatroom should be changed lightened up a bit he wont even reply to e,mails and at 31 from southwest london to me a moderator/administrator should be more mature my name in chat is TALKIE ok i used a new name after my first 24hr ban only for a laugh i was not cheeky or abusive

I've been using www.ukchatterbox.co.uk for 7 years and have had a roller coaster ride in there. Have meet a few people in there and had many good nights out and hopefully many more to come also met my partner in there and we now have two kids and wedding planned for this year. Have had a few mishaps in there with some but genarally as sites go i would say this one rocks they have a great parents room were u can discuss topics with other mums and dads i found this very usefull and have had many good advice from people in there and also given good advice to young parents over all i would say that this is a high quality chat room keep up the good work folks all the besst to all the staff chatters and admin for 2009. Well done everyone for all the hard work sites getting stronger and stronger by the day heres to another 7 years

UK chatterbox is a FREE chat site that is moderated by a team of very professional people who try to keep the chat flowing and clean.
On the site its split into areas of the uk or interests e.g. bikers bar, jewish and paranormal.
In a public room you can chat as much as you like and if to want you can chat in private as well.
The main chat site is supported by forums and games.
As well there are teen only rooms just for teens to safely chat in.
It's well worth a visit
If you do pop into the Wolverhampton or Northampton rooms and say hello to me im the room mod Lockie
See ya there
