Are yahoo chatrooms as frustrating to you as they are to me?

I was bored tonight so I went and decided to surf around chatrooms on yahoo. I got bombarded with so many bot PM's it wasn't even funny. Anyone actually find a yahoo chatroom that had actual people in it? lol.

Hey, Yes yahoo has messed up totally. I dont think i have been to yahoo chat rooms lately. Many years ago i use to go there and that time too it was very crappy. Its a waste of time and energy. Go for msn or other chat sites. Mylot is the best..lol. Cheers, Tutul

I was in yahoo chat for many years, after they changed and took out rooms that we all as friends would go to, it was hard to find people again. They found another room to try and keep going still all rooms are hit with these bots and it is hard to be able to keep a full conversation going sometimes. I haven't been in chat now for about a year and a half. Was awesome at one time, we had a music room going in the 40's rooms category, now I don't know if it is still going or not. There are programs out there you can download other chat clients that guards you against such bots and such. Those do work, just not into it as I once was.

Personally I think this is part of the reason I now no longer will even turn on my Yahoo Instant messenger because of this. I think it is rediculous that it has turned to this, and makes me miss the olden days when you could access a Chat room and actually talk if you wanted for sure. It makes me wonder what people see in being like this for sure.

Its been years since I have gone for chatting in chat rooms.I also had the same problems with the bots flooding your screen.Its real hard to find a genuine person there & some act like bots being vulgar even before getting introduced.
