Microsoft have finally decided to close their IRC like services. Just to confirm, this does not include the use of MSN Messenger.

This move has been welcomed by childrens charities. The move by Microsoft was due to the “increase of this service being used for inappropriate communications” but is also said to push the problem further undergroud, with people handing out personal and indentifying detials about themselfs so as not to loose contact with their buddys. As of October 14th the service will be shutdown world wide, with a payed service remaining which will be moderated 24/7. Im sure this move will be hated by a large portion of the MSN Chat users and will force them onto other means of communication. Other chat sites are reported to follow suit.
