What happend to msn messenger?


Recommended Posts

After being brought back to life for a short while, the .NET Messenger Service appears to be down again for a second time in a period of 12 hours. Some people are unable to sign in, others fail to have smooth conversations. According to the status page, last night's maintenance has been completed and the service has now become temporarily unavailable.

This has NOTHING to do with you running MSN Messenger 7 instead of an official, public MSN Messenger client. It's affecting all Messenger users, including those appealing to Windows Messenger or even Web Messenger, Microsoft's browser-based MSN Messenger client.

I know what the problem was.....

It seems that after the .NET Messenger Service maintenance(s) this weekend we have a single re-entry in the Holy List of Forbidden Nicknames!

It's been since May 2003 that a word got blocked from display names, but when you try to put .NET Messenger Service in your nickname today you will get a message that "The display name you chose was invalid. Please choose another display name or try again."

If you play with capitals and lower case (eg. .net messenger service), you will see that variations are allowed though! This only adds up to the mystery around nickname filtering being re-implemented again for a single chain of words.
