What happened to most of my Msn contacts?

My messenger wont work, adding contacts?

• ok so i tried getting onto my account which ive had for 7 years, same password and everything, so it was saying my password was wrong, i tried so many times, checking everything, doing it carefully. so i tried my question - name of 1st pet, and i know this is right.. obviously.. but it was saying it was wrong.. so i dont know what happened? So i got a new account, and one by one added my old contacts, by getting their email off my chat logs.. but some people are getting my requests to add them.. and others are not.. can anyone explain this to me? also i added a friend, he was saying he didnt get the add.. so as soon as i told him to add me, he came online, without my msn asking if i wanted to accept him, can anyone help?

• Answer:

  I think that after seven years some of your contacts are bound to have left Yahoo for one reason or another. Personally, I wouldn't expect to find more then 75% of my contacts after that long. If you're doing around or better than that, maybe you should be happy with those results.
