hi,Lately, I noticed in some chat rooms that there are similar user IDs in the same chat room with only a different number by the end of each one. All IDs join the chat room and leave at the same time as if they are for a single user. Does any body know what would it be and the way to do it?Regards,

January 21, 2006 at 11:06 pm #136847tinethleMemberGenerally its done by loading bot lists(lots of Yahoo ID’s created using an I’d maker)onto a voice program but the problem now is that yahoo only allow one IP per connection,so you need to get your hands on socks4 or socks5 proxies because they are harder to ban than regular proxies(good working socks5 proxies are hard to get).
Loading these bots into rooms can either cause the room to fill up(in which case it makes it harder for other people to join that room)or they can take the mic/voice,as for non voice bots I’ve not seen any working exploits at the moment which allow multiple bots to enter a room,because of the IP restrictions,but then I havent been in rooms that much anymore.And if a person does decide to run a program without using proxies then those bots will be banned immediately and your IP will also be blocked for 24 hours or whatever length of time.
January 23, 2006 at 3:49 pm #136846DermotParticipantThese bots work as so..
They login via a number of Socks 5 proxies usually one socks 5 proxy for each id thus bypassing the ip ban.
They then join a chatroom to retrieve a voice cookie then leave the chatroom/server.
They then use said voice cookie/token to connect to a voice server which is seperate from the chat server.
You now have the bots in voice chat but not in the room.
Since these bots are in voice they can ignore like any other person in voice chat but they are used maliciously as the 20 bots will be used to ignore all the same person and thus yahoo voice logic says this person will lose 60% of listeners and everyone will walk over this person on voicechat.
this is called “mass iggy” by most and will knock you off voice.
Yahoo! has tried to remedy this situation to no avail once socks 5 proxies can be used for voice chat.
Hope this makes you understand it more.

Once the bots are in voice,the chat login option can be used again “Bots Stay in The room” option should be used before using the chat login option again,All the bots will now re-log into the room but they won’t leave.
Another option on STB is the “master bot” option used in conjuntion with “Engage RoomFill” option which can be assigned to 1 bot to keep watch of other users that leave a room,the master bot can call/command any other bots(which may have gone to other yahoo rooms because a room has filled)to return to the original room when a slot opens up/a user leaves,hence they keep a room full.
Sorry if that sounded like a sales pitch lol
edit*** a second instance of STB can used at the same time to make sure the chat stays filled,but you obviously need more socks5 proxies and bots.
