ParticipantWell, besides the fact that you’ve missed the “&” in your code, this “unblockable” code is actually just a bug on MSN servers and should NOT be used. Your results are quite unpredictable, and are more likely to ruin your MSN Messenger experience rather than do anything useful.
Here is some info from HeavyK about the Unblockable trick:
Quote:quote:What are the effects and what happens to your MSN account?
Example situation #1
You want to add a friend to your contact list but you have just been fooling around with the unblockable nickname without being properly informed about it.If your nick is still #xxx; when you add that person and he confirms the request this is what happens:
The server needs to add your name to your friend’s allow list so you can talk to each other, but you have just triggered the bug.
As a result, the server will add an invalid entry to your friend’s allow list which will cause the following problems:
The entry in the allow list is invalid so you guys can’t have a proper conversation.
The entry in the allow list is just broken enough to be ignored by the MSN Messenger privacy settings tab so your friend can’t remove it manually and it won’t get removed if he throws you out of the contact list.
The entry in the allow list is not broken enough to be ignored by the server so if your friend re-adds you it won’t get fixed and conversations will not be possible, because the allow list remains broken.
Someone has brought me in this situation yesterday and I had to repair my Allow List manually which was not easy at all.Example situation #2
You read something about the fact that people blocking you while you have the special nickname will kick them offline and allow you to keep talking to them.That might be true, but it’s just one of the possible scenario’s. This is a list of what might happen:
Your contact blocking you will get kicked offline and you can talk to him but he can’t reply. Your list probably gets corrupted afterwards (and maybe your contact’s list gets corrupted as well) if you want to undo the trick, but hey, you’ve had fun for 5 minutes.
Your contact appears offline to you but you can’t interact with that person any longer. Hey, this happens to be the exact same thing as blocking that person, the only thing is that it can’t be undone easily.
You get blocked and the trick does not protect you. Your friends who blocked you for a test can’t unblock you properly so further conversations are impossible.
All your lists get screwed up, even your block list and every person that you have ever blocked can see you again. Ouch! This one is nasty.
I think a smart visitor can draw conclusions here regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the trick.Sound worthwhile still? This trick is unpredictable and can corrupt your contact list. Have a look through HeavyK’s full article on this here – http://www.siteprosecurity.com/articles/block3.html – also be sure to look at the complex process of undoing this “trick”. Hope this helps clear things up for you.
