They obviously did it for some reason, and were more than likely driven to it. I rarely use yahoo myself, and if I want to rp, I use AIM or AOL. While it *is* stupid, and their theories have holes as to it working properly, they probably won't change this strategy.
There *are* sickos out there trying to do stuff to kids, and some kids who aren't internet savvy enough to know how to deal with it. While yes, there is a time when we have to own up to our mistakes, sometimes it honestly isn't the kids fault. Blame yahoo and overprotective parents who use the inernet to babysit their kids instead of taking the time to warn kids against sickos.
I've never really used Yahoo chatrooms, I don't like the fact that you can't make your own rooms, which would negate a great deal of this. On aol and AIM you can make your own rooms and you can't get in without knowing the name, but last I checked you still couldn't make a room on yahoo, just use public rooms, which are always risky. That in itself is a problem. Don't get me started with MSN's flaws....
If you want to rp, you can make a conference with im's on yahoo though *shrug* We can wish parents would start educating their kids about the net more instead of expecting yahoo and other places to do it for them.
