why yahoo closing Chat rooms?
If ppl r doing misuse of yahoo, its not fault of yahoo legal agreement. Yahoo have rules for user. If user is misusing of yahoo - HOW ANYONE CAN PUT QUESTION MARK ON YAHOO!
If yahoo close chat rooms - WHAT IS THE IMPORTENS REMAINs in front of outer social Networking sites. If a User is braking rules, he/she can USE ANY NETWORKING SITE FOR PERSONAL USAGE of any site, THEN ALL NETWORKING SITE WILL CLOSE CHAT OPTIONS from their sites.

About a decade ago, yahoo made it very easy for people to get into ANY room.

The rooms were filled with spambots, pornbots, arabic script bots, and idiots that went into ANY room and sent IMs wanting sex to anyone they thought might be a female.

It was unusable. We had to combine FIVE DIFFERENT ROOMS into one to get enough chatters to have conversation around the bots. As a result of this god-awful mess, we also started using other clients that filtered out those bots and spammers and idiot hornballs. They also filtered out the ads.

So, the real users aren't seeing the ads. That means no income. Instead of taking time to block out bots and spammers and such and make the rooms more usable, or reducing the huge bulky bandwidth and screen-size-hogging noisy animated ads, yahoo shut the rooms.

They had to have been losing money, but they shot themselves in the foot to begin with long, long ago.
