I do not get any alerts (neither audio nor pop-up) when any of my friends login/logoff from Yahoo Messenger. Most of the time they appear online long after they have signed out, and i have to sign out and sign in again which is annoying.

I’m a big fan of MySpace and all my friends are too, but we really want to be able to talk real-time rather than just send email messages back and forth and post endless bulletins. I know Google has its IM service, Microsoft has one, heck, even Yahoo has an IM service, but what about MySpace? Is there a MySpace Messenger?
I have a few questions about Yahoo! messenger (YIM), since they don’t supply customer support. When I add someone to my ‘buddies’ list, I have one of two scenarios to play out afterwards.
1) The other person logs online and decides to either “accept and allow me” to add them, or to “not accept and not allow me” to add them in which case they disappear from my buddies list, or
2) The other person logs online, but appears to never make the choice about allowing me to add them or not, and they just remain in my buddies list forever.
So my first question is how can #2 happen? Doesn’t everyone who has YIM get forced on the screen to make the choice between allowing or not allowing someone to be on the buddies list?
My second question that flows from this, is let’s say that I have allowed someone to put me on their buddies list – what if I want to stop that at some point? there is the command that says ‘delete friend’, but that seems to apply to someone I made a friend from my end, no someone who made *me* a friend from their end….there is also the ‘ignore friend’ option, but doesn’t that just block their message from reaching me (and hence I don’t know they are sending it), rather than actually preventing them from knowing when I am on line (as a buddy).
So in other words, once you allow someone to add you as a buddy, how can you ever *disallow that*?
