With M$N announcing the closure of all non-subscription chat rooms, where are we going to go? In less than a month Armorama Chat, Der Sonntag Bund chat will cease to be. Do we move to an 'official site' and have our tails pulled by all sorts of vulgar fluvians? Or do we fight to the last ham and end up squatting in cyberspace.....

Rotten news.Maybe if we all got AIM or ICQ we can find a way of setting up a chat somehow.

Well, IMHO (in my humble opinion).. AIM sucks eggs and there are way too many hackers who use AIM. My system (I run windows xp) hates most things to do with AOL and my firewall gets way too many things it deems "dangerous" for my system that I block regularly.

If we have to change, make it Yahoo.. its better, trust me on this.

As for msn shutting down the chatrooms, Armorama may not be shut down if its in the U.S.A. The chatrooms originating in the U.S.A. are not being shut down... its only the ones located outside of the U.S.
