Holy shit! :o :angry:

Am I just behind the times or has this been already posted in here before?

Has anyone noticed that in order to chat in MSN chat you must now pay a yearly subscription? I opened my MSN Messenger and clicked on chat. Went to the chat room fine but when I tried to type a message in the chat window and hit enter it directed me to another page which told me MSN Chat is now a subscription service.

FUCK how lame is that shit.. Maaan anything to fuckin make money off ppl. Pretty soon it wont even be worth having a computer cause everything is gonna be pay before you join :angry:

didn't msn close the chat rooms about 6 months ago due to worries about paedophiles using the service to groom young kids?

Yeah, thats right. It wasn't entirely a cash motivated move on MSN's part.

Like thats gonna help anything! Your still gonna have them. ALl they have to do is buy the subscription and still go looking for kids. I still think that is so fucking lame.

but if you pay there is more chance of tracking the abusers.

msn chat sucked (and probably still does in pay form) anyways, no big loss.

What they really mean is, ...due to not cashing in on the scam.... Do you actually think they are concerned about pedophiles?

I think they do too, as long as the pedophile pays for msn too. MSN didn't just happen to be a multi-billion dollar business by accident.

these pretty stupid girls that pay £3 for a ringtones are gonna pay for chat and peadophiles will know this. i dont know whether anyone at msn did this and just used the peadophilia media explosion to say "to make your kids not get molested were gonna start charging for chatrooms", like some kind of brilliantly thought out rip-off

Do you have to pay by credit / debit card.

If so it is a way to identify the person who is subscribing. That should stop some people who are there for the wrong reason doing it. It should also help identify those who are there "grooming".

It is a brilliant rip-off! Use the pedophile theme as a legitimate excuse to start charging money for a chat service. Nobody is going to go on the news and dispute the "bogus" efforts of MSN. It would be politically incorrect.
