1. WARNING!!! THIS IS VERY ADDICTIVE!!! STAY AWAY BEFORE YOU ARE
TOTALLY HOOKED. GIVE YOURSELF TIME LIMITS BEFORE YOU LOSE TRACK
OF THE REAL WORLD.
2. Please Be Careful. There are alot of crazy people out there and
people are not always what they seem. Most are rather nice but
there are always exceptions. So be careful with personal
information.
3. Stay away from IRC Romances. It is very easy to get caught up
with people. State the ground rules in the beginning and it
will save alot of heartache. You both will be better off.
4. Cyberweddings do exist and like with real life weddings, they
also do not work. People come and go. Understand it's all make
believe and you will find cyberweddings of actual married people
in real life to other people on the Internet.
5. Stalkers. Something else that do exist on IRC. They will
be people who will seem to follow you from channel to channel at
times. Of course there are friendly ones and not so friendly
ones who continue to haraass you. You either learn to change
nick and put them on your ignore list.
6. Friends. Sometimes it is not a good idea to have certain real
life friends be introduced to each other over IRC. It can
cause alot of problems especially if they dont get along. You
might have to choose between them at times. This holds true if
there is an age gap and alot of miles between them.
