  1. Comment - Microsoft Shutters Free MSN Chat

    (Sep 24, 2003 - 1:17 AM)

    Hmm Going back to the days where you had to use microsoft chat 1.0 or mIRC scripts and were on irc servers...they decided that the chat "wars" were too much..they couldn't handle this, and were affraid of being sued because someones computer was destroyed on their servers. So what do they do? they up and take their chats to web based beta chats...which didnt fly to well with all of their users. All the chats on the irc servers remained opend ran by US the users I myself Ran and owned 3 of them with other long time members and everything was fine until msn did away with the servers completely. They said moving would cut down on, hacks, spammers, ect... well anyone with half a brain knows back then as they do now that was the dumbest thing they did haha! and surely didnt help matters at all. Its so funny to go into one of their rooms and noone in there knows what chat1.0 is Nor do they know what irc is either. They made the mistake of allowing the bots and scripts avaliable to their servers again. Now we have to pay the price. This will always be a problem they cant control it, they couldnt then and cant now..But back then you didnt have all the porn spam like they have now, pretty funny if you ask me, cuz they screwed up and just now realizing it what 3-4 years later?..Well...In my eyes it will tank and crash...It has for talkcity, Mplayer, and other places that have tried this, why pay when you an use messengers for free, or yahoo , paltalk , firetalk, icq
    ect....Msn doesnt even have voice options like other places do haha! One thing that does disturb me though is...If they decide to take away our chat rooms in the Groups section that will be devistating to alot of people, Including all of my members We are a Military support site for wives, family members Husbands and friends who truely do need this type of support...Msn is seeing nothing but dollar signs and nothing else. It's truely sad...Paying for free speech?
    I don't think so!
