What?! Why would that info be public and why would you need it? Sounds fishy/phishy and spammy/scammy to me.

I totally agree with Baja, this information is not public and there is no reason why this information should be made public. The only reason I see for people to want this information is for Spam purposes, and that's not cool

Spamming, this post should be deleted.

developerno1: I don't see your request as an unusual/illegal request. However this request is not apt for this forum as the rules and regulations of this forums do not allow it.

If you do want a list then approach sites like freelancer.com and place a bid. You will get your list

I really don't see what could be legit here. Asking for all Skype accounts, and active accounts at that. It's like wanting to buy email lists. None would want that other than spammers.

Here...

Yes, it is not legit and I did mention that above. However it is a very common request outside vbf. It is similar to asking email addresses of lawyers, doctor, churches etc... I have always believed in 'educating' the user rather than condemning him for his actions. I am sure the moderators are there for that

I just checked the Skype Service Provider Agreement and it says:

5.4 SERVICE PROVIDER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SKYPE HARMLESS FROM ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CAUSES OF ACTION AND COSTS INCURRED BY SKYPE ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO SERVICE AND/OR CONTENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES CAUSED TO THIRD PARTIES BY REASON OF THE VIOLATION OF ANY CLAUSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR A LEGAL PROVISION BY SERVICE PROVIDER, DEFAMATION, INVASION OF PRIVACY, UNLAWFUL USE OF USER's PERSONAL DATA OR INFRINGEMENT OF INDUSTRIAL OR IP RIGHTS OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

That really doesn't say anything, other than it's not illegal and Skype refuses to take responsibility (use at your own risk), typical.

There are really no hard set rules about spamming, especially on newer services, such as Skype.

oops, I think this is what I was meaning to post:
