Block Checker by harish123 on 12-07-2006 at 08:55 PM
I'm looking for something that'll detect when someone has blocked me.
There are sites for that, but it'd be nice for it to be built in. It could match whether the block checker says they are online, and whether they actually are.
I know it would be inefficient to continously run a block checking script on EVERYONE that is offline, so if we could set the individuals we want, that'd be better.
And also to set how often it checks (once the user IS offline). Usually every 3-4 mins is good enough for me.
Anyone?

Didn't know. Although I use these two sites and they seem to work fine for me.
I understand that if people set it so that only people on their list can talk to them, it won't work... but other than that, these links work fine:
http://www.blockstatus.com/msn/stchecker
http://www.msngeeks.com/index.php?page=blockchecker
Just wanted to know your opinion on those.
But WOULD it be possible for a script to check whether the person is offline and compare it to a script on that site?

Try putting your own email in, then you will see that they DO NOT work.

I did, it works. Works on tons of my friends emails also.

block checkers are like window notifiers...
they work... but aren't reliable at all...

I think you can still send people offline messages, even if they've blocked you. If they're online they (used to) get the message straight away, but were unable to reply unless they unblocked you.
