Yah00

Yeap the whole thing is messed up, I used to use yahoo for my chat and pm, but I got so annoying with the everytime logging on getting about 40 messages from Porn bots. Also Booting annoyed me. Also like said above there is rooms for kiddy porn and stuff like that which is not shut down, surely stuff like that breaks the law, even if they are user made rooms some stay open forever, You would think yahoo would shut them down even after I reported it to them, it still goes on.
That said there email service is far better than Hotmail ;-)

True ,one of the best ways to avoid the booters in yah00, I guess is to stay outta the chat.But several there are rather nice to chat with.And i have changed to useing the Java version.Seems to have helped a lot.Thanks to all who gave info that helped.

ok, i chat on yahoo quite a bit, and 1), there are now booters, etc, for java 2) the booters do just go into the room, boot, and leave 3)ignoring a booter doesn't always work because of what's called protocol booters. The only way that i know of to make sure you don't get booted is to log in through Chat 2.0 at the login site, or go to www.lagmaster.net and download ymlite, and use that. if you want voice, use 2.0, because lite doesn't have it, yet
