(4/30/2005 10:03:36 AM): Hey it's Chris, from the director of yahoo, everybody sorry for the interruption, but yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if u would like to close your account, don't send this message, if you want to keep your account, send this message to everyone on your list. This is no joke, you'll be sorry if you don't send it. Thanks director of yahoo, Tim Buiski, whoever doesn't send this message your account will be deactivated and it will cost $10.00 a month to use it. to send to everyone on your list right click on your group then click send

Has anyone else that uses yhaoo gotten this message? Is this some stupid juvinile prank? I can't believe that all of a sudden yhaoo would do this. WTF?????????????

[torn asunder]

i'm sorry, but there's no way an official message is going to say, "you'll be sorry"... betting it's a prank.

I thought that much myself..........some people out there can be real morons.

I got one of these about a month ago. It was kind of like a chain letter. Saying to pass it on and if you want to keep your Yahoo name to email them and send this to everyone on your list.

Or something to that effect.

Bishop did some research and it was some one fishing for addresses.

I have seen these as long as I have had Yahoo. It is BS. And about AIM, it is BS and about MySpace, It is BS.

"we only have 57 names left"

i highly doubt that yahoo has a set list of names and if they are all used up OH WELL..... just seems silly when you think of the millions of combos any one person can think of for a user name.

I get those I.M.'s on a regular monthly basis. It's total b.s. Someone's just that bored.

[soothsayer]

Someone's just an asshole and likes to interupt my day with their bullshit and I hope those people get the shit slapped out of them someday. I'm joking of course....maybe.

bunch of hooey from knuckleheads.

[DarkChylde]

I've gotten that kinda bull on yahoo many times. For me its like ignore/delete on a daily basis.

[SomeDanGuy]

Math time!

Yahoo IDs are up to 15 characters long and each one can be 1 of 37 characters so there are 37^15= 333,446,267,951,815,307,088,493 different possible names. I think that's like 3 billion billions of possibilities. So I don't think there are exactly 57 left =)

[Aralis]

I have gotten them before too. I just ignore them.

[revoltedhorror]

I wonder how long it would take for me to make up one of those stupid messages and send it, for it to come back to me... LOL.

Besides, if that were an official message...there wouldn't be any typographical errors in it.

Just a bunch of idiot kids...or just one... trying to mess with you.

[ManicQueen]

I get them all the time too.. Hell, I might as well start one going since I'm pretty flippin bored!
