then when u have registered it , add the passport to your connection , edit ur connection
from chat.msn.com to chat.ninemsn.com.au and bingo, problem solved

Lol?

Umm... when you pay for the ability to chat on MSN, you must use a Credit Card with either a US or a Canada billing address. Otherwise they reject it.
Also, NineMSN is going to remain free irregardless of your location. But only their +r rooms.
I take it you haven't bothered to visit i-desk and have a chat with their Sysop_HelpBot? He has some very good menus that will blow your theory of screwing over MSN right out of the water.

Did it cross ANYONES MIND what happened last year at this time? When they introduced the 4.5 ocx and there was no way of connecting and we only made it by becuase of one mysterious dutch guy?

Do you think msn is just going to start charging money without making changes to improve the quality of the chat say by editing the chat ocx? Mabay they will make it better since people are paying now? If msn starts to change the ocx it means your not going to be able to connnect anyways because, why would they start charging? Who's to say scriptkiddies parents or porn spammers dont have $30? whats going to stop porn spammers they will still be able to take bots on again, same with passport/guest flooding etc etc, its funny how you all think... "msn is closing, lets all run top the group servers" or "we can still go on where its free and take out scripts on".

Why don't you just face it?
MSN is closing to adults.
There are no more scripts.
and you can't cheat a global company.

If anything the situation with porn/spam bots and flooders is gonna get worse

[Alexander]

actually axel, dont like to make ya msn is not closing to adults, its closing to script kids and theres always a way around it , becides its the end for scripts, not bots, ive already shown a way to get chats to work with bots in communities and i can predict bots on the paid service within weeks

[FiRe]

Surely u can do the same with bots?? Whats different between the VB language and the mIRC language u cant do without sockets?

[Alexander]

ive said that u will be able to connect...

MSN IS OLD NEWS. COME TO XT SERVER =]

[Waxel]

EXACTLY!

Let it go, why do you love msn so much? I think the XT server is ALOT better then msn! Smarter sysops/admin. More under control and there are no flooders/spammers. Just let msn go. I am POSTIVE after the update you will NOT be able to connect to the group server via script.... MSN is already aware you are able to connect there and they will chnage it..... As ryan said come down to the XT server...

By the way, ninemsn is Australian, not UK. But anyway, MSN Chat will still suck anyway, not many scripters will even think about paying for it, they'll just go to IRCd servers.

Basically from what ive heard aparently some markets will still allow you to enter +r rooms for free such as canada (a whole 3 registered chat rooms!!!!) but you get to be a really cool something called a "spectator" and you cant whisper according to the i-desk... sounds fun! ;D

[kustom]

roflmao!

ive always liked the 'real' ircx better.

but msn was fun while it lasted aye.

I found this link while searching around and it kinda puzzled me as to why MSN Isreal is keeping its rooms open

www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/33013.html

However, in a statement the Internet operation said: "MSN Israel does not offer MSN INTL Chat services directly, but works with a local chat solution to offer a chat product to its users. This service will be remaining open, unaffected by the changes to MSN Chat."
