Chatzy

Chatzy is the product of a European IT company, based in Bucharest, that started in 2001. It lets users create chatrooms that they then moderate; almost everything on Chatzy itself is completely shaped by the users that create them. Although being around for 19 years, virtually nothing itself is known about the company that produced it. Chatzy's parent company is W3 Ventures, which is most likely a catch-all for their projects-- projects such as FreezePage, a web archiving utility made in 2003. W3 Ventures is contingent on keeping a low profile, having removed almost all unique information from their Whois page & avoiding direct methods of contacting customers. Stig Van Ellenor is the administrator of Chatzy and W3 Ventures, having been seen on both their whois pages listed as such, and in server maintenance rooms. Klaus Rasmussen is the listed technical contact of Chatzy and W3 Ventures, but he has yet to be seen in a maintenance room. Chatzy & FreezePage use W3 Ventures' mail servers, however FreezePage has a different administrator that has not been mentioned in any way relating to Chatzy, Palle Jensen. Palle is likely a W3 employee & FreezePage is his project; this would make sense, as there are noticeable differences in how Chatzy and FreezePage are designed, despite being overall similar websites. They are provided by ServerMania.

(Please note, that if you do end up going on an internet scavenger hunt relating to W3 Ventures, please avoid invasion of their own privacy.)

Chatzy's userbase is driven almost solely by role-play, and a small amount of rooms survive on the site today. Chatzy's UI has not been significantly updated since 2008.
