Why Doesn't Yahoo Use YCHT Anymore?

Hi:

YCHT is the safest chat protocol of Yahoo. YCHT is boot-resistant. I
really miss it.

WTF did Yahoo get rid of YCHT?


Thanks,

Radium

YCHT safe and resistant? Whatever you smoked, I want some of it.

Just us a collary: An unencrypted and lousy protocol for the sake of a
two bit company with no experience being able to say "Hey, we also got
an (of course non-interoperable) IM network". Even worse than AOL with
AIM, but still way better than ICQ.

And well, better stop twisting Chat and Instant Messaging.

YCHT has no pm/im ability. However, it is the most secure protocol that
Yahelite used to offer. A boot-resistant code. What more do you want in
chat?

I am kinda ticked off that Yahoo stopped YCHT but continues to use
their other POS protocol that lets anyone get booted.

Okay, I'll bite. What the heck is a boot-resistant code?

I don't know. I meant "boot-resistant protocol". Sorry I just didn't
want to keep using the word "protocol".

Anyways, YCHT is the safest from those nasty booters.

booting = kicking someone from a channel

Anyway, this guy is just talking bullshit (such a thing isn't protocol
related, except if your authentication is nuts) and seemingly doesn't
know IRC either.

YCHT really is safer from other Yahoo chat protocols.

YCHT is safe from booters. Where as other Yahoo chat protocols aren't.
