When trying to speed up one of my older computers that is mainly used as a jukebox, I decided to change the yahoo messenger default settings so it no longer launches every time the computer starts up. In order to do that it required me to login, which I think is stupid, I mean the damn thing is running, why can’t I just click preferences and change that? Anyway I logged into ye old messenger in order to change the preferences, and I noticed a message saying that the yahoo chat rooms were being taken off line Dec 14 2012. This was kind of shocking to me, as those free chat rooms have been quite popular for a long time. Here is a blog post from yahoo on their decision to kill off the free chat rooms.
