It looks to be some sort of room spamming bot maybe to crash the room. Have you got all of the patches for your room?

more likely that "ineedhelp" is just an admin, and the host was messing about

I don't think so, I think it is a program doing that. If it is doing it remotely under a proxy, or if it is something on the hosts computer doing it, I'm not sure. I don't think it's the host messing about though.

Maybe somebody on the host's local network?

And if 'ineedhelp' is the host? I still wonder about a virus.

Jason and Km are correct , this picture was posted by a cricket member under a different name to get feedback , which I suppose they got .
The picture shows a modified version of one of Kms programs similar to chat attack. The clues for that sort of attack are the numbers that can either be static or changing to aviod kicking.
Most rooms are Protected from this as the program was designed in the days of 3.31 WinMx.
The true programming patch will stop this one in its tracks if you are running an older Mx Version.

actually. it can work on basicly any thing!! even on the 3.31 patch because its not the same ip joining. It will allow each of your loopbackip's to join 3 names. so it really doesn't help. just get it on someone comptur:P

I have spoken with you about this , and unless the host is running this program (why would any host want to do that ???), its dead in the water.

If you're able to install things on somebody's computer, I don't see the fun in messing with somebody's chat room.

There are so many other ways to make somebody think their computer has gone nuts.
