MSN

[Paul]

If i am imformed correctly by my sources, MSN will be being cut off soon.

This is because paedophiles (sp.), are randomely adding people to their contacts and so its deemed 'unsafe for public use.'

I use it all the time and i know a lot of people on here do?

Im just wondering is this right, and if so is there anything we can do about it?

Apart from use LIVE INTERACTIVE chat room on here?

as far as i am aware it is not msn messenger > but the MSN chatrooms that microsoft has agreed to remove.

[Dicko]

no its not msn mesenger itself as its not a public area. its private hense u can block people etc. also MS makes money off there little addy popups in msn, they make no money off the chat rooms. do yu see where this is coming from now..

[Ste_Nova]

microsoft were told to clean up and police the chat rooms.. that would cost $$$ so are just pulling the plug...

if they kill messenger there is still

yahoo
icq
aim

Theres also trillian which combines all of your accounts such as MSN, ICQ, even IRC into one program...it's well smart.

Thankyou John.

I suppose I should have quoted Stes last comment about other types of instant messaging programs, but no other bugger quotes people and at least my message was right underneath Stes.

Come on people, work with me here...1 + 1 = 2 :roll: :lol:
