      I use ICQ because I have been using it for years now and have a list of good contacts built up.

        it's about practicability, not fashion
        Drives me nuts that you can't have "directories" with Skype.

        ICQ has a better history and search, too.

          Try a broader angle like 'Decades old programs people still use and refuse to let go". (Windows XP, MySpace, ICQ, AOL, etc)

                I use it simply because others are using it too. Why are they using it? Maybe they've been using it since Day 1, and they don't like change.

                                As far as i know ICQ is much safer than skype. Can't be monitorized like Skype. Sope people still need their conversations to remain private.

                                  According to security analyst Jeffrey Carr, use of ICQ may cause security problems because it was purchased by Russian investment company Digital Sky Technologies. ICQ has fallen out of fashion in the US and the UK, but it remains popular in Eastern Europe and Russia. Carr says the new ownership may be used by Russia's powerful secret service, the FSB (formerly the KGB) since Russian law, like the American law, requires ICQ to open its logs whenever they want.[

                                    I get *maybe* one ICQ message per day now, versus dozens on Skype. ICQ is dead, as far as I'm concerned.

                                      When i was first introduced to the online adult porn industry I would try doing business with others and find their pages always had email and/or "icq", at first I had no idea wtf that was (this was wayyyyyyyyyyyy back in late 90's or early 2000). So eventually I decided to comply and get my own ICQ.

                                      It still seems to be used widely with us adult webmasters, but tbh most of my biz is now done through Skype (more than ICQ) nowadays.

                                        Back in 1998 when a lot of guys started it was the only available option.
                                        When new people came to the industry and wanted to do business they had no choice but to install it also, even though better options were available already.

                                        Even now there are still webmasters that don't use Skype or Telegram or Hangouts but do have ICQ.

                                        But it perfectly describes this industry, people don't like change. That's why their industry has been taken over by smarter people who embrace change. Everyone I work with that has serious traffic is on Skype. The guys that stick with ICQ are probably the same guys that complain about the tubes and that no money can be made in porn anymore. And people like affiliate reps and program owners that have no choice because others are to suborn to change to better alternatives.
