built 392 days ago
The Lycos Chat rooms are themed around a passenger liner. All of the terminology and graphics have a nautical feel. When you log in to Lycos, you are entering a 'Ship', which has 9 'decks', with each deck having between 6 and 20 (or more) individual rooms. for example, one deck has rooms pertaining to dating or romance, another is predominantly for younger people, another is for general interests and hobbies, another is broken down into geographical area's (with a room for each major town or city) and so forth.

LYCOS Europe is the first chat room operator to become a VGT industry partner. The company joins Microsoft, MSN, BT, AOL and Vodafone as a leading online industry the VGT has recognised as having stringent child safety measures. The partnership will further both organisations' efforts to deter and detect suspicious online activity.

A somewhat similar situation happens with "porn," which lists a Lycos chat area first. Here, Lycos is hijacking the popular term to benefit its chat area. But unlike with the Carpoint example, users probably won't complain and those operating porn sites aren't likely to gather a lot of sympathy.
