i'm curious, why do people use ICQ?
it's completly inferior to the messenger service, and genrally dodgey, well that's my opinion. Also (as i've already said to hivetyrant over msn!) i resent the idea of being reffered to as a number also.

I think people use ICQ because you can find different people to chat to on ICQ where as on MSN there are different people to the ICQ people... hopefully that makes sense.

lol, I liked ICQ, particularly when it wasn't trying to be like AIM...

I use a program called Trillian, that lets you use 5 different chat programs simultaneously, so you don't have to bother with logging onto multiple clients (I only use two of them).\

MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, and IRC are the progs it uses, but of course you have to have accounts for each one already.

Yes, ICQ has different people to MSN. When I used it a few years ago (you might be able to find my number at some forums still), I was constantly talking to people offering me a good time, offering to sell something, and using excessive l33tspeak to the point where it was truly unreadable. And this from people who I didn't know, who I didn't give my number to, and who didn't once call me by name or tell me how they found me. Atleast MSN limits it to people who you gave your address to. And as long as that remains the case, it could even be possible to convince die-hard MS critics that MS has done something right (right being, better than the competition).

By the way, Jarrad, your signature has an erroneous comma, and "I" should be "me". [img]tongue.gif[/img] And I thought you would know better, having posted about Common Errors in English...

Lucern, if you put up with Trillian, you might like GAIM, which lets you do many more things. It even lets you have more than one of each protocol open at once, and it has a tabbed view for conversations. The interface is hard to get used to, but it's good for most things. I don't like how it does IRC (you need to make a separate profile for each server you connect to - /attach isn't recognised), but you can get good IRC clients easily without the all-in-one varieties.

270457189 is mine. I rarely use it though - I'm more of an MSN person. I only use it ever now and again to talk to mainland Europeans, who supposedly prefer it.
