I have visited the AFF site off and on for a few years now, and I don't believe your accusation of taped chat is correct.
Yes, there are people who come in there and try to solicit porn sites. However that happens in nearly every chat room on the web from aol to icq. Website are always trying to come up with a way to stop this, but it does happen. I would think a porn site would especially target rooms on AFF, because it is adult chat rooms.
In regards to repeated phrases, which led to your record conversation remark, I have seen this as well but I do not believe it is recorded. I believe it is simply people not accustomed to their chat room set up.
In most chat rooms, you type your comments into a field and hit enter to send it to the room. After hitting enter, the text you just type disappears from the field.
However, in AFF the text does not automatically disappear, which means if you accidently hit enter more than once or hold it too long, the same text will be sent into the room repeated times. I know I have done this several times on accident simply because I am so used to the other chat rooms where they make this impossible.
