Those of us who baited in the heyday of "yahoo boys" will remember how much lads, especially romance lads, loved Yahoo IM. It goes away next month. If you still have it, you'll have received a message like this one.

Most of the chat lads I've had for the last few years have been on Facebook and Hangouts. More would be via whatsapp as the lads love it, but I only really use it for one of my characters. I probably last chatted wtih a lad on yahoo regularly in 2014. Still. I'll miss that corny app with it's annoying DING!!!! |

Oh yes, that awful <ding>... My yahoo was set up so that the <ding> didn't actually do anything; there was just a <ding> in the chat window. Cammy didn't like being <dinged> and lost her temper more than once, as with this Lad.
Lad: Hello
Lad: <ding>
Cammy: Why do you do that <ding>?
Lad: Because I need you baby
Cammy: Huh?
Cammy: Americans are different!
Lad: Yes baby
Lad: Don't you like that??
Cammy: Let's not be too hasty.
Cammy: I thought you had to be a born-again Christian to be an officer in the American Army.
Lad: <ding>
Lad: I'd love to meet you
Cammy: Ten minutes, starting now.
Lad: To worship freyja??
Cammy: OK, ten minutes is up.
Cammy: Now, I told you that if you did that stupid <ding> that I'd stop chatting for ten minutes.
Lad: What's the hell is this
Lad: Why will you be treating me
Lad: If you stop chatting what would that be??
Lad: Am just try to be good to you
Cammy: That <ding> looks stupid. It doesn't even do anything.
Lad: <ding>
Lad: I downloaded some pics and send them to you
Lad: Am just a poor boy searching for work
Lad: Yes
Cammy: I told you what would happen if you did that <ding>
Lad: So am sorry
Cammy: Ten minutes, starting now.
Lad: For being lieing
Lad: I am a good looking guy
Lad: But no money
Lad: And I need a job baby
Lad: I don't know maybe you can help me
Lad: But I stayed with the US deployed army
Lad: Hello
Lad: Are you there?
Lad: Hansome
Lad: Talk to me
Cammy: Ten minutes are up.
He didn't <ding> again. |

I feel old. I remember when AOL was the elephant in the room, only to be supplanted by the younger, more agile Yahoo. That was the be-all end-all, nothing could top it. It was where all the lads hung out. And when Gmail started, lads hated it and distrusted anyone using it.
Time flies. |

Sad in a way. I still enjoy watching some of the old documentaries on YouTube of "YahooBoys".
At least there is still Yahoo email. |
