is yahoo really closing people accounts down?

Did you see that on messenger? It is just a rumor that someone starts to see how many people will pass it on.

there are probably yahoo workers on it NOW.\n\nBut as long as they don't report and violate people at will I guess it's ok.

No. Yahoo has been having a few issues as of late. It happened in a few groups I use that are not political in nature.\nBTW It's Martial Law.

I think it might be down...but the only thing i can think of would be to go to help.yahoo.com...to see if they have any info there about it

I think yes may someone can access your account but if you shutdown your pc than i don't think that it is gonna be open again.One time i just close internet explorer and again i open yahoo mail but that time i already sign out so sometimes it is sign out automatically.It is depend on Yahoo Mail Server.

I agree with the first guy, though there is a small, very small chance that someone is indeed using your name.  Someone you know?  Or just could be because your computer froze and it didn't sign out and thus yahoo things your really signed in and ofcourse you logically know your not.  So yeah....

Seems like Yahoo /\nGeocities is aware of it. That website is no longer available!

Deleting Yahoo accounts \nI have received several requests (not here) on how to delete your Yahoo accounts, so I am posting the solution here. First off, Yahoo doesn't want people to delete their accounts so they can claim that they have x number of users. For the longest time, the only link to the "Terminating your Yahoo Account" page was in help. Then, a couple years ago, they disabled that link...\nSolution: First, sign into Yahoo. Then, go to https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user

if your talking about yahoo, i think that if you stop using it it will shut down after a certain amount of time

better not do that just yet. yahoo has been having some problems lately such as not being able to forward your emails etc. wait awhile til they get it fixed.

It's just another forward; I use MSN all the time, and I've never recieved a message like that. MSN is too popular, so I doubt they are going to close down, and they are most definately not going to run out of names. MSN uses email addresses anyway, and there is an endless supply of those.

It seems as if the Yahoo techs may be performing upgrades currently.  I'm having a different problem with composing email at this time (ie: there's no active area block to type the message in).  The last time this happened, the techs were upgrading the system, but didn't have the courtesy to send out an alert email indicating the system would be down.  It appears that some people never learn from their previous mistakes.

It is unfortunate.  Yahoo is working on controlling them through reporting.\n\nThis is how bots work.  These people are paid well to do this.  A person creates a program to be able to function in a chat room and runs down the list of chatters and sends them a message hoping to get them into their site.  These programs are sophisticated enough to create multiple anonymous accounts that Yahoo finds difficult to monitor.\n\nIn the future, to prevent these from happening, Yahoo can create email verification or "characters in image" verification to slow these down, however the people who use bots will eventually create technology that surpasses that.\n\nI do not work for Yahoo, but I am confident that Yahoo is tackling these issues daily and trying to find ways to make the Internet a better experience for its users.\n\nI used to have AOL and Netzero.  SBC Yahoo has been the best provider for me and they seem to take bots and spam more seriously than other providers.

They seem to have put Beta into the mail service name permanently :) while there has been a lot of speculation about when this will be removed, there seems to be no end to it. \nNo one knows for sure .\n\nHowever, that should not stop someone from getting an account invite. They have allowed every user to invite 100 ppl onto gmail, so the invites are freely available. \n\nThey seem to be adding a lot of features into it regularly like auto-responder, multiple language support, RSS etc.

Nah, sweety they're fake. Juz like the emails you get saying that someone died, blah, blah, blah, and that if you contact them so that they can put money into you're account. When reali they take it out or steal your identity.\nBEWARE!

Yahoo is will lose money if they stop doing business in china. They have stated that giving people some information is better than no information at all, but I think it is probably all about the $$.

See, I think you are onto something here. I've been trying to figure out what this is all about. Why would Yahoo waste their time, energy, and money on this, when they aren't getting anything out of it? I mean, I would expect to at least see some ads, sponsers, links, etc.\n\nThere is a conspiracy here somewhere...
