Title: Yahoo to Close Down Chatrooms
Post by ReeBop on Apr 1st, 2004, 10:31am
Yahoo!(AP)  Due to increasing calls that chatrooms lead to moral disintegration and loss of time that could lead to betterment of humanity, Yahoo! will be shutting down chatrooms in the next few days.  Quoting anonymous inside sources, "we just don't see a need for chatrooms...I mean really, just open your door.  Go outside and shake the hand of your neighboor!  So what if he or she smells bad...".  These same sources say that Yahoo will replace chatrooms with a paid "personal classified ad" service in the near future.  "We still feel a need to help lonely people...and make a buck for ourselves."  the source stated.

Tragic!

I think that's not very likely.

As crappy as Yahoo's servers are, they still bring in da' money for Yahoo with the adds at the bottom of the pages.

I do have a question thou.

All the bots and the dating sites that advertise in the chat rooms...Does Yahoo know about them and does Yahoo get money in terms of fees to let them post there adds??

Reebop...anyone??

Just curious...

I say to Yahoo" Screw em". I have a life outside of chat. I go here to chat with all my friends online. My online friends are closer to me than some of my real so-called friends.

Well B4 the internet was the internet, all we had was snail mail & telephones to stay in contact. I feel that if chat rooms are closed by Yahoo? I wouldn't miss it for the world. I would go do things that I used to do B4 the internet was here!
