    The Official Fuck Skype Thread

    OK, so yesterday I had some kind of office-meltdown because of a fucking shitty product called skype. I was always shit, but since MS acquired it, it is just plain fucking disgusting and annoying pile of rotten elephant shit.

    I uninstalled, wiped all mentions in regedit, and decided to look for an alternative.

    I was always an ICQ guy [it went shit too, but it was an option to use the very old (and good) versions] and it took lot of time to give up using ICQ and start using skype because everyone moved to it.

    It is a must for me to use this crap somehow, and even I need to run two accounts at the same time [my own account and the GotPorn support as well].

    So after getting rid of this shit called skype I started looking for a good 3rd party software which can handle skype accounts.

    I asked for suggestions and soon I got two recommendations, Pidgin and Rambox

    Pidgin I've heard of already, had to add some plugin to be able to add a skype account, but it did not fetch the existing logs, and combined the two account's buddy lists [might be possible to resolve]

    Rambox I never heard of, but it seems to be the Perfect Replacement!
    Setting up and adding the two accounts I have to use took 1 min, I see all my logs, it works flawlessly. So far so good

    Let's discuss if you have other suggestions, Help Each Other to get rid of skype and live a healthier and happier life.

      You can always install older version of Skype as well (as you say about ICQ) and uncheck the box mark for auto- update. That's what I did.

                          Is this the same though? Seems like viber is like whatsapp - for your mobile phone and number.
                          While skype and icq can be standalone programs.

                            Honestly, I get the sentiment. The desktop app on Win 10 has been failing to sync properly for ages now.

                                I guess you are right, but this way somehow it is very smooth and easy to work with it. I am thinking of adding slack and google hangouts to it too, thus I'd have 1 stuff running all the accounts. It took 1 minute to set up and have perfectly running two accounts of skype. And That's all I need.

                                  So what's wrong with going back to ICQ my friend? That way at least we can fucking talk again haha!!

                                  ICQ me. Got some GotPorn questions for you Mr. Support.

                                      What's wrong with Skype? I don't like the new version, so I am using the old version. No biggie. Use it every day, constantly.

                                        Surprising to hear about all the hate for Skype. I really like it. I run Skype on my Mac and iPhone and it works perfectly.

                                              I got a weird new update sign in page, a couple of days ago, asking for personal details, which I'm not willing to provide. Now it wont let me back in !

                                                      They'll get to you sooner or later.

                                                      And maybe they'll delete your account for the fuck of it.

                                                      I'm wasting a day backing up data from another chat site that just required a forced upgrade. Downloaded the new version on another phone and lost all my data on the interface, but was able to at least export it all and save to disks.

                                                        I agree, but what can you do when many people (clients) use it, so it is highly unlikely that they will all switch to something else.

                                                          I'm in the street one day getting an Uber and I get a screen that says "No cars for you motherfucker, not until you update the app!"

                                                          I mean really, I just want to get a d@mm car....

                                                          I hailed a taxi instead and hated the internet a little more.

                                                                By that logic i would have to run hundred and hundred different im systems just because someone is using it. Only e-mail is mandatory communication method, everything else is optional.

                                                                  Of course the history is stored on the server side. Gov contracts. How do you think these sites actually make money?

                                                                  Also, if you don't backup then when you are locked out for failing to update or whatever nonsense reason (requiring more ID, etc.) then you can't access your data anymore, unless you can extract it somehow. Which I did. But Joe Average, who doesn't know how to extract, he will lose access to his data.

                                                                  As for Skype I did indeed lose all my history when they did a forced upgrade on me.

                                                                  And, it's gone.
