Chatroulette

SEX... Now that I have your full attention lets look at Chatroulette.
In a recent post from Geek site Gizmodo I read an article stating that chat Roulette has been removed from the Apples App store. Further into reading this article I read that you can now report any foul play to the authorities. I am pretty sure there was always an option of reporting foul play before although I believe they are taking it more seriously now as the site is notorious for its users nudity. I am glad that they are taking this more seriosly because Roulette is an exciting place where you can chat to people from all across the globe. There are no profile's, pictures or walls. It is simply a place where you can chat to people and stay anonomous and there is minimal change you will ever talk to the same person again. In saying this... I did talk to the same person twice... This was slightly awkward.

Maybe less people use the site as they are more likely to get into trouble as they can be easily reported. I know from my experience on Chatroulette there is a higher chance you are going to see your 'partners' lower region than their face. Some times you just cant click 'next' fast enough. Maybe the decrease in users means it is now being used for genuine conversational purposes opposed to flaunting your body to the world.
Or maybe it was just a fad. Who really knows.
