pwnd Oohya.net's TOS as follows ...

There are now popups and adverts all over the site. Te popups are inline. And if you read their ToS which here are a few following lines.

3.1 The Community may be accessed and used only with a webbrowser or software previously authorised by OohYa.

Meaning they are trying to dictate which browser you use.

3.6 The user must not take actions to automatically disable the advertisements being embodied in the website.

Meaning no popup blockers, spam filters, or things like Firefox's addon AdBlock and FlashBlock.

4.1 OohYa gratuitously provides the Community for the general public for the purpose of private information exchange and communication.

Although, they will publish any private (p2p) chats to another user in their site.		 4/21/2009
