I have been on Buzz for over ten years. It has been a life line when I joined as I was very sick, and I can see that many members have been here over a decade as well and feel just the same. I love the friendly and warm atmosphere. The fact that people can discuss any serious discussion on threads with respect and courtesy. You have all range of topics from light hearted funny banter to serious or controversial discussions. Admins and mods work round the clock to ensure that the site stays free of tricksters, rude or bad people. So as long as you abide by the terms and conditions you signed , you will for sure enjoy that site which is free for all. Well done Buzz50. Keep the good work.

This site has gone to the dogs. The rooms used to be full of chatters with 3 or 4 rooms being used. There is just a few chatters now at odd times of the day or evening and sometimes they don't even chat which is off putting. This site needs to stop banning for little or no reason. The site also needs to be more welcoming and less warning messages sent out. I have been a member for over two years and made some friends but they have either left because they got a stiff warning message from a hitler moderator who now seems to run the chat rooms or they don't come into the chat rooms because the place is mostly empty. It's about time the site went back to how it was a couple of years ago when the rooms were full of happy chat and jokes. It's a graveyard now.

I had been talking with some very nice people on the site, but hadn't accessed the site in many days or weeks. When I decided to see what was going on there and to talk to some friends I had made, I was not able to open the site. Instead, I got a message that my IP address had been banned. I had never had any trouble with anyone on the site, however, every once in a while, would see that someone I had been talking to had been banned. There was never any reason given. I don't feel the site is safe, and will not use it again, even if I can.

This site does not feel right or even safe. The people who run it are only interested in making money and keeping the number of members up, no matter what. When I complained about a man telling me to go and pleasure myself whilst thinking about him, I was told that they would keep an eye on him. I also blocked him and told him so, and realised that he kept looking at my profile. Told Buzz about it and was told that he probably thought I was bluffing and wondering why I was not answering his messages. Apparently, when you block someone, their messages do not get to your inbox but the blocked sender doe not know that and does not know he has been blocked. However, when I told Buzz that I was not happy about uploading my picture if he could still look at my profile, I was told there was an option for me to stop seeing who had looked at my profile!!!!!! really??? That's supposed to make me feel better?? I must point out that my profile was very clear and said that I was only on the site to have a friendly chat and was not interested in any sort of romantic adventure. Another thing, I was sent a friend request by one of the Buzz team. I thought that was a bit odd as we didn't even have any chat prior to the request. I accepted only to realise after a couple of message that her only aim was to make me buy some credits for the 121 chat!

Three weeks ago whilst looking through buzz50 forum, I stumbled upon a bunch of confidential Admin files. These files were of a confidential nature and included some members personal email addresses as well as an IP address. The files related to discussions held between three Administrators about various members of buzz50 as well as chats about their own moderators. These discussions did not make very nice reading and the fact that they were displayed on the Internet for anyone to see was obviously an oversite by the Administrators. They have since all been deleted, but not before I for one and others have read them and taken screenshots of some pretty damming remarks. Amongst other things, the files showed messages from members to admin complaining about other buzzers - which were then discussed in detail. The Administrators even made bad remarks about their own moderator team. It also shows that admin read members private 121 chats which are paid for by members and supposedly confidential. It seems to me the Administrators have no respect for their members and very little respect for their moderators. So with that being the case, I will not ever be returning to the site and would strongly advise others to question whether buzz50 is a site to be trusted.

As a newly-retired person,I was looking for a decent chat site to join. I looked around at what was on offer and chose Buzz50 to look into.On the surface it looked a nice set-up,so i explored further.It is set up as chat part and a `forum`,where people can exchange views on all topics.I put something in the forum`search`box and was met with what appeared to be whole logs from chat rooms but also included what appeared to be private emails from the chatters to the `admin` and vice versa. My immediate response was what the heck were these private emails doing in freely-available records?? Further investigation showed me whole emails from chatters and forumites complaining confidentially to admin about other chatters and forumites in detail and also the admins responses !!, Chatters and forumites were also being referred to in denigrating terms by their own admin !!! I was astonished !! I could see very much the `them and us` relationship that this site obviously has and decided not to look any further as i had seen enough !!

If or what is written down on any part of a forum its classed as against RULE this or that. I understand what ýour trying to do visually and yet what your putting into practice isn't the same. In the month or so I was on I witnessed a few things that clearly weren't right, but your in command but I use that loosely. BUZZ is like a chessboard in which it tries to hold back from your opponent moving forward. Us the opponent's have no say in what's said as its altered and pushed somewhere we never heard of. Different ideas and solutions make a forum and that's how they work, and I think personally you have very much forgotten your way. I'm sure I will get the group of newbies backing the group up like you do, trying to protect there queen on this huge Chessboard and yet you have forgotten its a pleasure to help people and made it boring with so many subjects acting like judge and jury and were not asked what its about and could it be said better,that's a moderators job and Admin have there final say. Members views are totally thrown to one side and ignored by admin, as those you want to make your site work and need them are made to feel there WALKING ON EGG SHELLS in this group. I would have to be honest and say have a ZOOM meeting together online and look from where it original roots was to what and where your going at present because your heading down a bumpy road with no chance of turning around.i appreciate you have long standing Moderators and Admin as well as your good self, but I just feel you lost touch with what your trying to do and you need the public to help you. If people like me are blocked then your breaking your òwn rules for after 3 months you can't come back as your locked out.. Ladies of the BAR that sit and pass judgement on who's head comes off because they don't fit in correctly or like me tell you what I see and find. My point is to enlighten you but not pull you apart as that your doing well.. I believe you lot of the ORDER werñt happy with my thoughts on shutting our UK borders down as you thought I was a racist and troublemaker so let's cut it to the core and not mince words..I'm wanting all borders and ports and airfields shut down as to end this pandemic which many unvaccinated just walk in on UK soil and spread another virus and you lot find this wrong to talk about. So you move it elsewhere where you know it will disappear where it should be front page news... And my post on REVIEWS of BUZZ that I had been reading about made pretty interesting reading as many witnessed the same as me and been dealt like me. You stand on high order of JUDGE...JURY...PROSOCUTIONOR in your duties, try backing off with aggressive attitudes and talking to those who you need to make this work. I have no doubt in my mind you will not listen to me by the route you have chosen and really your advertising just what this group or site is for real. I've not been anything but respectful and hope you see that and see a light at the end of the tunnel to guide you to enlightenment or you will be just another site or group on an organisation as its free but with benefits. Best of luck and no hard feelings to you all.

I registered my details on the website. And as I tried to login after a day or so, found that my account is locked? No email or anything to say why they dud it.

I have been a Buzz50 Member for over two years now. Since joining, there has not been one single day that I did not login to Buzz50 and spend at least a few hours enjoying participating in the Forum Topic discussions. There are so many new Topics posted every day. Some are serious, some are leisurely, and some are silly and funny. I have met several very special people on Buzz50 who I now consider to be great friends. We can interact with each other on the Forum Topics, or chat privately via Private Messaging or 121 Chat. Both methods have proven to be reliable and secure. The site owner and her Admin and Moderator staff do a great of of maintaining and monitoring the Site. I have no concerns about safety on Buzz50. I highly recommend checking out Buzz50 for yourself to see how enjoyable it can be for you. I'm certain you will like what you see.

A friend of mine recently invited me to check out Buzz50, so I joined straight away. I headed right to the forum topics category! What a mix of topics to choose from, some are serious and others give me a good laugh ;) I've met three nice friends so far and it is just what I need. Well, this is all I have to say, but I checked out the review section here, and want to post my comment.

Myself having been a happy member for several plus years, I will honestly say I've no regrets for joining this site. It is a well run and enjoyable place, lots of participation options, just choose to your liking. For me, I feel safe on Buzz, knowing that admin and moderators are looking out for members best interests. To me that is what truly matters. Plus, I intend to stay on board for the years to come. Some of the negative reviews I am reading just now are so ridiculous and an obvious attempt to cause undue bad reflection on Buzz50. The agenda of these reviews seems childish to me, of course folks have their feelings and opinions, but the truth of the matter within their reviews seem a poor attempt at discrediting Buzz50. No, I am not admin by the way, only a member who is just now passing through and came upon reading some reviews. My recommendations are this "Come join Buzz50, take a look around and enjoying yourself." You might be glad you did. Cordially, A HAPPY member.

What a joke this site is if you want to join a site that thinks they own you then this site is for you so go ahead. Apparently if you go to another chat site they ban you from theirs but they let you pay for the 121 first then give you an ultimatum the other site or them. Make no wonder the site is dying a death. wonder what happened to freedom of choice.

I have been a member for several years now having joined sometime after the unfortunate death of the original owner. I am also a member of several other social communication sites and therefore able to make comparisons in my own mind about the good features and not so good features of Buzz50 The good features of Buzz50: I like the overall layout of the site which displays a number of members profiles on the front page. This I find makes the site more friendly than others. You can feel that you are meeting with others immediately and indeed can do so fairly quickly. The site is well labelled and easy to find ones way around and there are both moderators and site helpers at every turn of the way to assist the newcomer who may feel a little lost to begin with. The site is well colored; bright and cheerful looking which again makes it instantly inviting. Staff are easily accessible simple by locating their profile [there are always at least two staff members available covering all major periods of a 24hr cycle. The site also provides access to a world wide audience and I believe unlike others I use does not have an UK appearance or bias towards 'all things' UK which can often be boring and confusing. The style of the site first welcomes you in with a front page of members and then leads you forward to a range of options such as discussion forum ; chart rooms and a more intimate 121 chat facility which I have been assured is totally private and NOT moderated. I myself use this facility with extreme confidence. I have always complimented this sites as a site with a colourful setting ; pleasing on the eye and easy to get around with help from both members; helpers and moderators. Overall this is a well presented and run site with helpful staff who always receive my queries and questions with politeness and patient endeavour. I use both larger sites than this and smaller ones and this sits at well balanced crossroads of good presentation and services. Not so good features - it is extremely difficult to find any as a matter of fact. There are as will always be the case with all sites occasional malfunctions but once these are reported then they are dealt with as expediently as possible. A site that offers a number of alternative services will undoubtedly have occasional 'spats' among members but I have found these to be resolved quickly and expediently. This site for me is indeed difficult to fault. Running a site with multiple facilities and a large number off members will always have temporary 'glitches' along the way. Unlike other sites who permit what seems to be unlimited guests to make appearances and sometimes get involved in forum discussions I have not noticed this feature on this site but I could be proved wrong about this view.

Been a member for over six months and was banned because I decided to use another website to increase my friends circle. Apparently, when you are a paid member and have supported their site, you are not allowed to go anywhere else! When I was banned, Buzz50 staff/owner had the cheek to send me an email, asking for supporting donations!? Truly, if you are looking for a senior chat room, do not go here, they suck you dry and then ban you for using more than one chat room! Stay well clear.

Have used this site for several years. Have made friends there that I have kept in touch with for over 5 years. Find the site friendly and welcoming. It has made a huge difference to me to make friends this way given my current circumstances. I would recommend this site to anyone over 50 who are looking for a friendly place to get to know people and make friends.

i have been a member of Buzz 50 for a number of years, i have found it an enjoyable site to be associated with, its easy to use, messaging and chat rooms are free to use and there is a warm welcome in the chat rooms, i have made some good friends in my time on the site, the site enjoys a degree of policing that stops fraudsters messages, bullying and offensive messages when members report them arriving in their in box, i do make occasional donations freely to help defray the costs of running the site, i am never pressured to make donations but always receive a thankyou from the site owner when i make a donation, i would happily recommend the site to anyone wanting to make friends or involve themselves in the chatrooms....
