ParticipantThese IDs are known as illegal IDs or “illys”.. As far as I know, you can no longer make them and any that you have probably seen in chat rooms were made a while back and/or someone was able to crack the password for that ID. I’ve heard there are certain programs around sites that have some way of making it around the rule of no more then one “_” at a time but I wouldn’t recommend these programs, most have some sort of virus attached to it.

MemberYou can’t make illegal IDs. You can’t even log into them normally into Yahoo Messenger (Unless you use a 3rd party client like YahElite).

MemberHelpMe, I check those 2 IDs that you posting as the sample IDs, they’re not even exist on Yahoo.
Yes, there’s a rumors that you can make ID with consecutive _’s, but they can’t prove that.
If someone telling you that they just make an ID with consecutive _’s, tell them to click the “Member Since” option on they Yahoo ID’s Profile. (most the time they start mumbling when I ask them to do this, lol…)
That’s what I can share with you HelpMe.
P.S.: If you using Yahoo Messenger when you saw that kind of ID on chat room, probably you just saw the “Nickname” of the ID.

ParticipantWhen Yahoo! and ichat formed in 1996 to 1999 they allowed such id’s to be made.
After which they disallowed them and the word “illegal” stuck to them.
They are not illegal in any form, just a name people put on them.
In nicknames you can put several underscores on it but not the actual ID.
If you want to switch between ID’s and nicknames in Yahoo! messenger use This Tool
