In this morning's papers it says Microsoft will be closing all chat rooms including those on hobbies. Graham, will this affect F.M. as the threads form a type of chat room?

The spokewoman said this morning,they wont be closeing MSN messenger becouse people use it for chat`s on a subjeck i.e. fishing ect,and most people "know" each other.
It`s the chat room`s with no set subjeck`s that people come and go on a day to day base`s that they are closeing down,that is the excuse,but they are not makeing money out of them.

Dave, I think CHAT rooms are a little different from message and forum boards in that the exchange is done in real time and is on a one to one basis, at least thats how understand them to work (not that I have any experience of them you understand)A bit like typed C.B. radio.

Good riddance to it. I think it was a bit more complicated than that, because the chat rooms, in some way, enabled email id's to be heavily "spammed". But frankly I didnt really understand.
My daughter recently set up her 1st email address. She is 13. I had a bit of a pop at her because I wanted to know about these things (and monitor it) and she hadn't told me.
So, she logged on via my laptop at home. It was her first time since setting it up. She had also let on that she had been into a chat room at school, but that this is heavily monitored.
Anyway, the fourth email went something along the lines of
"Hi Alice, I hear you are 13...blah blah ....and I would like to get to know your hot lips". His age was "in his thirties".
I dont care what the law says, the way I felt at the time, had I known how to find him, well..........we couldn't work out how he got the information as her email address did not contain her name (so at least she listened to one bit of advice, even if she didn't tell me!).
Oh yes, and the rest of the emails in the inbox consisted of numerous lurid invitations to porn sites.
Shame - a great medium, but too dangerous for me to let my kids easy access.......or am I just getting an old sad git!

I think It will be a good thing for all when they are all closed down. Im not sure if it was the same thing, but when I set up to use AOL I used to get instant messages, one in particular from a very anoyiong female. She stopped when I said that I spent most of my time chasing after Leucescus cephalus, the fatter the better. I think she thought I was some kind of pervert.
Perhaps she was right, my wife always said that the CSG was only a cover for a load of perverts enyway.

Stuart, try www.theemailtracers.com they can trace a person from the email address but they charge for it. i think there is some software you can get that will do the same sort of thing. if not you could tell the police and they should do it for you.

Unfortunately, the 'few' have effectively ruined a very useful resource. I'm pretty sure m/soft could have made chatrooms safer-if they so wished
I guess one of the problems is nowadays that kids are more adept and knowledgeable on PC's then their parents /guardians.

Dave, In a poor light it would be difficult to tell Kevin and Mr Gammble apart. Thats a thought to enough shake the chub fishing world, two Dave Gammble's.
If you read this Dave,it's payback time for your early morning text messages.
2-15am is no joke!

Not only do we have perverts spoiling it for our kids, we also have little morons dumping viruses into the system and Spam, Spam, Spam and more Spam. 58 emails so far to day and 95% Spam of which only 17 were picked up by my ?Spam Inspector Microsoft Outlook Edition? However, just to keep me on my toes our IT lads put out a virus warning this morning not to open any emails allegedly form Microsoft regarding updates and patches etc, and sure enough one of the 58 emails was such an email!!!
Does anyone know how, in ?Microsoft Outlook? to block emails form abroad? If I could filter out emails on a country basis via some email rules in outlook I?m sure I?d half the Spam emails.

Two Dave Gamble's. Now that is a frightening thought John. Perhaps we should put posters of them at the ports. It may discourage assylum seekers.

Dave, Or better still on Fishing magic, then they could see what awaits them and then not even try to get here. But I feer a photo Dave on this site would get both of us banned by Graham.

Here's an interesting fact John. Bryan Culley reckons Dave Gamble used to be a bit of a ladies man in his younger days. Mind boggling or what?
