Getting to Know ChuckUFarley
This week we thought we’d introduce you to ChuckUFarley.
Q: How did you find AnybodyOutThere?
A: A number of months ago I was checking my daily tech blogs when I came across a post regarding anonymous chat sites. I checked out the three sites they referenced and immediately fell in love with AOT. Being old school Internet I spent many hours in the early days on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and loved the format it offered. While AOT is not chat rooms, like IRC, the ability to post topics and the anonymous aspect of AOT really appealed to me. If any of you folks are old IRC alumni, I was very active on DALnet from 1995-2000 spending the last few years as an IRCop. My nickname on DALnet was ducky.
Q: What keeps you coming back to the site?
A: The people keep me coming back. Both those I have developed friendships with and the new ones I meet on a daily basis.
Q: Who have you had some of your best chats with?
A: Too many to list but you know who you are. The most memorable was with a lady who I developed a very strong bond with. We met at a very pivotal time in her life and found a bit of magic.
Q: What do you like talking about on AnybodyOutThere?
A: More so than anything I like talking about life. Each of us have a unique perspective and I love sharing this with others.
Q: How do you introduce yourself to someone you’re chatting to for the first time?
A: A simple ‘Howdy’ usually suffices just fine. I am a very open person and will share almost any aspect of my life. (Don’t ask for my SSN). If they have posted something specific in their topic I will usually address that right off the bat.
Q: How did you come up with your username?
A: In my years on the Internet I have used many personae. My current is simply one I pulled out of my hat for use on AOT. I first heard Chuck U Farley used in the movie “Pump Up The Volume” and found it a very humorous play on words.
Q: Name one thing you have learnt from the AnybodyOutThere community?
A: AOT is a global community with the good, the bad and the ugly. A very good place to practice tolerance and understanding.
Q: Any tips for AnybodyOutThere newbies.
A: If you are coming to AOT to find celebrities. Do not waste your time. If you are coming seeking help simply ask for it. There are many users on AOT who are very good listeners. Be patient and contact people who seem to have topics that interest you. Finally, don’t feel bad if someone declines your request it could simply mean they are busy or already have a number of chat windows open. If you are looking for sex you best move along.
Q: What’s one interesting fact about the part of the world you come from?
A: I live in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains and am proud to call myself a redneck. One of the few states (Tennessee) with no income tax and other than that we are nothing special 
Q: What’s one interesting fact about you that not many people in the AnybodyOutThere community know?
A: An obligatory nod to Justin Bieber. I had no clue who you were before AOT. I do not own a TV and have no cable at home. I believe in magic and love to share it with others. My favorite cartoon character is Bill The Cat. Meh! I am rather boring it would seem.
