Kolyma Dating was a cross-network dating service ran by KolymaNET. It consisted of 19 chatrooms in total, allowing for two users to occupy a room to talk.
Background
The idea for Kolyma Dating was announced on November 3rd by Kuz on Telegram[1]. On November 12, he officially announced Kolyma Dating on November 12th[2] alongside a preview screenshot of the site[3].
It briefly launched the day after at 12:00 PM EST for a 4 hour test run, with the text, but was closed a little over an hour. Afterwards, the site redirected to a message from KolymaNET's Internet Services Directorate that stated the following:
"The program has concluded earlier. All matched contacts will be offered positions within the network and certification of union. 6 successful matches. Thank you for your participation, it may re-open in the future."
Later, Kuz went onto a thread on /soy/ discussing the website and revealed that the site had closed due to "underaged Ukrainians trying to sell pics of themselves", and as such the site would not be coming back[4].
Layout
The site consisted of a total of 19 chatrooms, two of which (13 and 14 respectively) are designated as "TR - Halal". Each chatroom was capable of hosting up to two users at a time. Users could either enter a vacant room and wait for another user to enter, or simply enter a server of someone waiting. They could also enter a small tidbit about themselves, and select their sex as either Male or Female.
Whoever joined a chatroom first would control it, being able to clear the chat or kick a second user that joined. If a user attempts to leave a chat room, confirmation pop-up with the text "You just leave. may i?" shows up.[5]
At the bottom of the page, there was a notice with the text "WARNING: Homosexuality is against the law," as KolymaNET prohibits the promotion of LGBT.[6]
Reception
According to Kuz, most of the users were trolling rather than using it for its intended purpose. However, there were at least 12 users who actually attempted to e-date, as KolymaNET announced there were 6 successful matches.
/soy/teens agree that Kolyma Dating overall was coal[7][8].
