Hi guys
Its been a long time since I posted on my blog as I have been very busy with the site, we now have a page for people who own an Apple Mac and have problems accessing the chatrooms.
You can find that page here http://www.worldofchat.co.uk/applemacchatrooms.html
I will post an image and more information about these soon.

Hi guys
It seems that lycos chat is indeed closing on the 1st only to become Noesis chat !
Noesis Chat
Dear User,
We are delighted to inform you that we have successfully reached an agreement with Noesis Systems Ltd. for continuation of the existing chat service.
You may have heard that our parent company LYCOS Europe N.V. has decided to discontinue many of its services.
The Chat business is one of the services which are scheduled to be discontinued by LYCOS. For this reason we will be terminating your LYCOS Chat contract on 1.3.2009.
Should you wish to continue using the existing product with the new provider, you will be asked to sign new Terms and Conditions when you sign on the chat.
As part of this agreement, your existing chatname and account content, for example your Logbook Messages and photos will remain.Should you not accept the Terms and Conditions for the new provider by 1.3.2009, we will close your account and delete all of the content and access rights stored in connection with your Chat account, based on the statutory specifications.
Yours sincerely,
the LYCOS Chat Team
So it seems users are going to have to accept new terms and conditions, it doesnt say if the urls are going to change though, as the urls all point to yahoo chat, it should be interesting to see what happens on the 1st of Feb.

Hi there
Its been on the grape-vine for a while now that Lycos chat could well close, it does appear in statements made by Lycos a lot of Lycos services will stop Feb 1st., including forums and message boards.
Even tripod is going which gave web sites free hosting, which takes me back to the days of designing my first website, it was crap but it was free lol !
Having looked at lycos chat Ive noticed a different name has appeared on the site, so I am unsure as to if someone else has purchased the chat rooms. So it may well continue for the time being
Lycos chat is somewhat dated now, and hasn’t been updated for many years, so its little surprise it may well close, a lot of lycos services have suffered from the same problem, little change and little innovation.
Will be interesting to see what happens on Feb 1st as Lycos was one of the big hitters at one point.
