    CHAT ROOMS are infected with Bots, quite annoying that one using them to continuely to send out messages of a Sexual nature with a complimentary site URL link. From my experience being logged in Yahoo Chat rooms many years ago, you would click on a Hyperling in the Room, or sent one by a Robot which when excuted would infact on many occasions would be on some vay bad site, or worse still get a Trojan. In those days, you did not know this and you find you Windows System would fail. There was know way you could run your PC again unless, you reinstalled your Operating System and son on. However, if we look at just that real Yahoo profiles used to Add a bit of spice to a room, providing they just tryiong to get a Site noticed by others in a room then thsi really is not so bad - all said than done its Free for the public to use, and not monitored so what do you expect. Unfortunately, Yahoo has Ads everwhere, and that is quite annoying too.

    If we now look at the captcha code which we have to use each time we enter in any room, or the same room, we’re in around 2-hours, then you’re logged out. I’m sure Yahoo have lost many 1000’s of members, in addtion, losing popularity for having type a code each time ot use a Chat Room.
