Have you ever found yourself booted out of Yahoo Chat and you have no idea why? It may be that you have crossed paths with a so-called “Yahoo booter”. Yahoo booters are people who, for whatever reason, will flood your yahoochat session with data, causing you to get dumped out of Yahoochat. The bottom line is that Yahoo booters are able to boot people because of the way Yahoo and the chat clients handle it when the target is flooded with too much data. The problem is a combination of how Yahoo buffers the data, and how the chat client handles the process. If the Yahoo booters target’s chat client isn’t able to handle the overflow from the data, they can get booted offline. Yahoo booting is done typically to annoy or harass the Yahoo booters target. In the end, it comes down to what chat client you are using, as that is the one variable over which you have control. Ironically, Yahoo’s own chat client, Yahoo Messenger, seems to be particularly sensitive to this problem, and so Yahoo booters are able to boot people using Yahoo Messenger fairly easily. There are many different 3rd-party Yahoo chat clients available, however, and one of them in particular, Y!mlite (also known as “Ymlite”) makes it its mission to be essentially unbootable. If you are experiencing frustration at the hands of a Yahoo booter, you may want to check out Y!mlite here: http://www.ymlitechat.com/. Y!mlite’s author, Craig C., has written a fairly comprehensive explanation of how the whole Yahoo booting thing works, as well, in a forum post here.

I use a chat client other than yahoo and find I dont get booted, however booters are now locking rooms so no one can get in. Romance 40’s room 45 is a particular target at the moment, can anything be done?

That was good info. I wonder about camfrog chatrooms (www.camfrog.com) I paid for a year membership and it is hard for me to get in chatrooms because some ruthless people kept booting me out. One said because I ignored them (what they don’t know is I’m DEAF and can’t hear conversations but read only). I think the problem is my computer being iMac and they did not develop some protection for my computer. So, I was at disadvantage.
