Yahoo is suing Xfire over a patent infringement which holds absolutley no grounds, but unless wwe get some help, yahoo may when simply for the fact that they have deeper pockets!

Here is Xfires's side of the story and I doubt you'll get Yahoo's side of the story simpley for the fact that they are doing it to make money! http://www.xfire.com/xf/modules.php?name=XFire&file=cmspa ge&body=xf_law suit

You can send an e-mail to the yahoo people with the link above and/or go to
http://www.petitiononline.com/Xfire/petition.html and sign the petition!

I'm not sure if i will accomplish anything because of Yahoo actually having money but Xfire for those who don't know is a completely FREE messenger program that you can download at their mainpage, and use it to keep in touch with friends while they are in games, it even has the ability to skip right through the normal intro of your game that you want to play if you are playing a game like Halo and will jump right into the server that your fellow friend and Xfire user is on.

If you want that link jst go to www.xfire.com

Now I KNOW I will prolly get flamed for this as it is not pertaining to the forum but hopefully some people will read this before it gets locked and/or deleted

X fire is what holds the Digital Hobos clan together so we can easily all join up in one server! which is why I am posting it on here and hoping that that is enough to keep this thread here, PLEASE HELP!!

Signing it as well! Whats with the Halo Community's luck this week? I love XFire. It is so much quicker than the usual intro. Dont get me wrong, I love the song and all, but when I wanna play, I could care less what is going on right before I join. XFire is amazing guys... Im actually using it now. It also lets you know how many hours you have spent on a game in the past week and overall. Mine isnt too high but that is soon to change. Just stop reading and go sign!!!!!

Well to be fair the guy did previously work for yahoo. So if some yahoo messenger code was put into the design of xfire they would have grounds to sue to protect their patent. I wouldn't say it was about money more about control considering Xfire only made 750k gross as a company last year where as Yahoo pulled in 2.6 billion. Lawyers aren't cheap so it will be quite a drain on their company. I expect big fish yahoo to devour little minnow xfire.

Either way xfire won't be going anywhere just either pay a licensing fee to yahoo or yahoo takes it over.

Heyyo,

That would be soo ghey if yahoo won. I'd uninstall my yahoo, and get rid of my yahoo e-mail. I'm already thinking of that. No one I know chats on Yahoo Messenger as much these days... we use msn m and xfire..
