It’s a place where people can swap messages, share ideas, make virtual friends and have conversations. On other web sites, you might see it referred to as a ‘bulletin board’, ‘notice board’ or ‘forum’. You leave a message on the board, it is looked at by a helper and then someone replies to it.
With a chat, you enter a place called a ‘chatroom’ where you can talk over the Web with others. Message boards are different. One person leaves a message and a while later, someone else replies to it.
There are loads of things to do on the message boards, you can talk about your favourite programme, make web pals, leave messages for your favourite stars and talk about your hobbies.
You can click on either ‘reply’ (to an existing message) or choose ‘add a message’ to start a new one.
Copy to be supplied.
We read every message before it appears on the message board. As we get lots of messages it may take a little while before your message goes up on the board.

The Internet is a fun place to be, as long as you remember some simple rules. Never give anyone your full name, address, or phone number on the Internet. When taking to people on the Net, you can’t really be sure if they are who they say they are. They may be younger or older than they say. So never arrange to meet anyone for the first time via a message board or chat session. If you feel threatened, or are worried about a situation on line then contact us.
We keep a copy of all messages for your safety including it’s content, nickname, log in name, times and dates. This will only ever be used if there is a complaint against someone
