chatrooms and textfiles

Hi,

I'm an IT technician at a school and the latest craze is students sharing textfiles as impromtu chatrooms on public shares. I'm not sure if these files are being created manually or whether some sort of third-party software is involved. all files are named convo1.txt

Has anyone come across this before and if so can you shed some light on this problem?

Sounds like just a manually created Notepad/Word Doc.

seems like they might be related to a service called "ChatShack" - I googled "convo1.txt" and not many hits came up, but a few of those that did had a reference to ChatShack

It could be anything. A Word macro etc...
