Private Rooms (and Ch@tmosphere)

What is a Private Room?
Private Rooms are chat rooms individually created by Subscribed Members for their personal use with just a few invited friends or with the general public. They may name the room, choose it's background, create it's look and atmosphere, and choose any Room Password they want. Most of all they determine who comes to chat in the Private Room. Anyone may enter a Private Room at the invitation of the creator. They create a Room Password which they give out to those invited. A Private Room will last for 12 hours, holds six people and provides a more intimate chat forum. You may recreate your room whenever it expires.
Who can use Private Rooms?
Anyone may be invited to enter a Private Room, but only Subscribed Members can create them. And remember, you can only get into a Private Room if the creator invites you by giving you the Room Password.
Why would I want a Private Room?
Imagine a place where everyone knows you and everyone wants to hear what you have to say. Imagine that you are interested in everything being said. Imagine that you are among friends and can really get into a good conversation without wading through other chat. This is what a Private Room can offer. Some people have even had virtual business meetings in our private rooms; it allows for the conversation to be very focused.
How do I create a Private Room?
First of all you must Subscribe. Once you are a Subscribed Member, you may go to Ch@tmosphere to create a Private Room. You may custom design your room "from scratch" or you may use the templates provided for some of the most popular Chathouse® rooms. Simply follow the instructions for choosing a background, entrance image, room image, text colors and names for the "speak" and "whisper" buttons. You will also be asked whether you would like this room to be hidden or displayed (on the list of current private rooms) and to create the Room Password. Remember -- no one can come into your Private Room without the Room Password which you provide.
Where do I create or find Private Rooms?
Just go to Ch@tmosphere by clicking on this icon anytime you see it anywhere in the Chathouse®

Once inside Ch@tmosphere you'll find a list of Private Rooms in existence right now. Subscribed Members will also have the option of creating their own rooms by clicking on "Create."
