Haha. Have you been to Yahoo chatrooms lately? Why did Yahoo stop the 3 hours login capcha expires? Once again most Yahoo chatrooms in Yahoo Regional are locked by Room Locker bots because Yahoo stop the 3 hours login Capcha verification expires. Why? Chatroom state of the art!!!! Haha.

You guys aren't paying any attention to your customers, I understand you have billions of them and it's impossible to understand them all, but I honestly see that you are loosing them. People hardly ever use yahoo mail for business or as their main email adress... They have switched to other clients.. Now about chat rooms! They are all filled with bots. Few years back, there were real, intellectual people chatting there. After closing user chat rooms people simply stopped going there, nobody even knew they were closing, they just kept going "hey do are you having problem getting to the room" It is not how costumer oriented company acts! Most people used yahoo because of the chat rooms, and yahoo was special to them, they loved yahoo, there is no other company that has same kind of atittude towards them today yet they at least offer you the product that works and don't hide, react and announce if something is wrong! I honestly think you should pay more attention to chat rooms after all it was yahoo's most popular product the reason why people loved it, and people were loyal to the company's other products too.. Ignoring this issue will not do any good... I hope at least somebody out there reads this... I just came across this post!

I just un-installed yahoo chat again after only using it for (maybe) 30 minutes. Simply put, all the bots did were annoy me, all the capcha did was make me authenticate every time I went into a room. At one point, I actually timed how may bot requests for cams I got in a 60 second time frame, want to guess, 54, that is almost 1 per second. This is worse that ever, and one of the reasons I went back to IRC with moderators, face it, you cannot have good chat without human moderation. You cannot script everything. So now you have had a year to roll out these "changes", what happened? My suggestion? Simple..stop, take down chat rooms all together, simply make messenger better, but don't offer services that you cannot seem to get right. You lost the war, the bots won, so call time of death and move on with your life. So it has been over a year since this post.
