    Why do we still use ICQ?

    What's the deal? Does SilverCash own ICQ or something?

    I couldn't log in all day some dumb error message like.

    "Too many connections from your country at this time"

    WTF?!?!

              because I haven't found a good enough reason to switch to anything else yet.

                          I can't believe they've had such a hold on adult for so long. It's shameful... you'd think being like the first into the market, they'd have stuff worked out by now.

                              We've been using it since it came out and no one has offered up anything better or a valid reason for us to change over - not to mention we don't want to have to change contact information all over the place.

                                  Mine hasn't worked for two weeks! I uninstalled, reinstalled, and it worked for a couple seconds. I'm a HUGE skype fan.

                                                              Its only the adult industry that uses icq. No others do.

                                                              I personally haven't opened mine for almost 3 months

I love its ability to save logs on web, no hassle to save and access them from any PC, laptop .. anywhere in the world. Plus, built-in email system makes it even better than goddamn ICQ.

                                                                                                  I've used ICQ since it was beta release but it has too many issues with connectivity to make it into one of my "favorite programs I use to do business with" list.

However, There's no good way to coordinate the entire industry to switchover to something else... We'd have to sticky a thread on every forum at the very least.

It's much more efficient to get things done over ICQ and email.. and a drunken email is much easier to ignore.

                                                                                                                                                                  You simply haven't been looking hard enough... they are ALL better than ICQ, by a wide margin. But at least your second point is honest, that's the reason I keep getting from people.

                                                                                                                                                                  Personally, I barely log onto ICQ anymore. And I almost never accept new Contact requests. I am trying to (slowly) let everyone know I can be found elsewhere and if they don't want to make the switch, too bad. There's always email.

Skype is the thing for you. it's free. and as long as both your Internet connection is good enough - the quality is great.

I may pick one soon so I can have someone to bear my puppies and cook our food, and then I'll just delete my IQ account.

Skype is the thing for you. it's free. and as long as both your Internet connection is good enough - the quality is great.
