It appears that AOL periodically flushes out all the member-created chat rooms that are blatantly related to child pornography or child 'erotica.' However, they're re-created just as fast as they're closed.

In any case, the decision to close such rooms appears to be arbitrary & haphazard, and it's not done in a timely manner.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying AOL should be the 'chat room police.' But when there's a member-created chat room titled, say, 'TradingUnDrAgedXXXGrlPics,' I think they (should) have a social responsibility to close it in a timely fashion.

can't disagree there.
oddly enough, there was a story being reported on local news here today, about some guy who took a 15 yr old girl out on his boat, and paid her $40 to do some, let's just say pictures. geeeeeez, dude! perhaps it would cost you more than $40, but you could, if you're into that kind of thing, find plenty of willing 20 yr olds, I'm quite sure....

By the way, I don't want people to get the wrong impression. Out of all the many member-created chat rooms on AOL, only a tiny fraction ever fall into the category of what we've been discussing. And in fairness to AOL, it would be impossible to entirely prevent such rooms from being created in the first place.

I guess it's just the drawback of allowing anyone to instantaneously create & name a chat room.
