why the hell do people have such problems with icq?
just stop downloading the new versions, they are all bulky and filled with ads. i use older versions of icq STRICTLY and i have never had a single problems.

(im not sure if the page is down right now or if it is my fucking internet that has been cutting in and out the past 4 fucking days
)
go there and try a few of the older versions and see what works best, you WILL notice the difference, i am against any updates for programs like icq/msn and i never have problems.
