RE: How come no block checkers work for me?
The reason block checkers used to work was because of a fluke in the MSN Messenger protocol and their software.

In the options page you can "Block" All other Users that are not on your list from sending you messages and seeing your status. Now this feature was improperly coded by Microsoft allowing other people to see your real status. Now with MSNP9 (MSN Messenger Protocol 9) they have fixed this feature so if you choose to block other people from seeing your real status and sending you messages then they will appear offline to you.

If you find a block checker that works then it is because the user doesn't care if people that are not on their list send them messages or see their status.
