    What year did you ditch your ICQ?

    I stopped using it completely in 2013.

        I stopped using it on a daily basis probably 3-4 years back. I would only log in if I needed to talk to someone, and they would say hit me up on ICQ or I needed to talk to someone like Konrad who was on there. Now, I do not even have it installed on my machines. I used Skype if need be for IM, otherwise phone and email.

        Over the years, I have found 90% of my IM conversations were simply time wasters that took away from my day. Sure, there were some who hit you up about business, but you would have to hear about their kids, or mood, whatever where as email and alike is much more direct. Phone is much faster (5 minute convo versus a half day trading messages).

        I have not missed it much, as I simply do not use IM as much as I used too. There are plenty of other ways to get business done.

              I never used it. I'm sure Skype is much better.

                        I had an ICQ login, but never actually used the client. I ran it on Trillian. But I haven't used any of those since around 2008-9. Instant messengers became a huge distraction with people just wanting to bullshit, so I nixed them all together. It's liberating.

                                    Last year or the year before stopped using my main one as was loaded with people and switched to a different number with only 1 friend on it that I do frequent business with. Now he pretty much just text messages so don't really use it much. Haven't switched to Skype just mainly doing email/phone/text messages these days. Still have a stack of old 6 digit ICQ numbers I never used but I'd have to hunt for the logins.

                                      It would be rad if the Samsung Gear had skype capabilities.

                                                I have not. Why bother to? It's no extra cost, people can still contact me...and helps me make money.
                                                If you like Skype / email better...contact me by those methods.

                                                Now, smoke signals...I don't use THOSE...

                                                  That's why my ICQ is always on invisible. I too got burnt out on chatting when I was trying to get work done..

                                                  So on topic I still use icq but you'll never get a response from "hey what's up?" (unless you are a hot chick). Simple say hi and if I don't respond right away then ask me a short version of why you IMed and if and when I'm around I'll get back to you.

                                                    So on topic I still use icq but you'll never get a response from "hey what's up?" (unless you are a hot chick). Simple say hi and if I don't respond right away then ask me a short version of why you IMed and if and when I'm around I'll get back to you.

                                                      If you like Skype / email better...contact me by those methods.

                                                      Now, smoke signals...I don't use THOSE...
                                                      FFS. After ditching Skype I switched to smoke signals only.

                                                      I can make you money but by not using them you are missing opportunities, loser.

                                                              I am ending ICQ at the end of this month. Like Barefootsies pointed out, I get mainly timewasters on there or scammers trying to sell me links, paypal exhange scams or ask to do a programming job for me but want to be paid 50% upfront but they have no GFY references"
