Why doesn't Yahoo! do something to kill the bots?

Anyone who tries to use chat knows what I mean. 80-95% of the occupants of most rooms are pornbots.

    yahoo is working very hard to keep the bots out.

    unfortunately the bot makers are breeding faster than rabbits.

    all the craziness is yahoo's new anii-bot software.

    eventually, they will get the right trick... possibly a captcha screen. you know, where there is a picture of some letters

    and numbers that you have to type into a box.

    i got so frustrated i made a chatroom myself http://live-vegas-chat.com/

    That is a simple question. The ads supporting this are paid for based on the number of users. More bots = more users and higher advertising revenues.

    Perhaps Yahoo! enjoys the bot's material. Some of their pics are quite explicite.

    Perhaps the bots are a source of revenue.
