As reported by one of you guys before, it's finally come true.
Yahoo has started to block Trillian and other 3rd party clients from the network.
By Jim Hu - Staff Writer, CNET News.com

Yahoo has begun blocking Cerulean Studios' Trillian software from communicating with its own instant messaging software as part of its plan to limit third parties from piggybacking on its service

I never liked Trillian anyways. This is just another reason not to use it. So you can only use trillan for AIM and IRC. :LoL: Who really uses Trillian for IRC anyways?
