Do you use ICQ? Then you might want to read this...

04-19-2006, 11:25 AM

Not sure how many of you are aware of this as active ICQ users, but if you have any problems with ICQ in the future...don't try contacting ICQ, because they've cancelled their ticket center.
Open tickets might still get a response, but you can't open a new ticket.
"Yeah, but I've never had to contact their support in the past" some of you might say.

Me neither...as of yet.
But how many contacts do you have on your list?
How essential is ICQ to your daily business activities?
The least you should do is back up your contacts.
And the entire community should think of the second best IM service out there and sign up.

I beg to differ. I've been using a freshly created backup number for the past two days, because the other one is only partially functioning, meaning you can't add contacts, search for contacts,etc. I think, as a community it would probably be a good idea to start using at least one more IM platform to break out of ICQ's "magic circle".

I use AIM for those that don't have ICQ, but it really is a poor substitute.

Anything that doesn't auto save history for me is pretty much useless.

MY VOTE FOR THE NEW INDUSTRY MESSENGER IS:

Yahoo! Messenger

Features:
-Message Archiving
-Voicemail (free)
-File Sharing (pics, etc)
-Free Pc-to-Pc Calls WORLDWIDE
-Stealth Settings (appear online to certain people, offline to others)
-select your own ringtones for incoming calls

and my personal favorite....IT NEVER FUCKIN FAILS!!!!! I've been on yahoo messenger since i was 17 yrs old, its maybe had problems a handful of times in those 8 yrs.

I know ALOT of webmasters and programs already use it. (i have around 30 webmasters on mine).

FUCK ICQ, LETS START USING YAHOO MESSENGER!

I use it through Trillian and someone on ceruleanstudios forum explained how to backup & setup and auto save of your prior day's history of all your files from shutdown to startup. Anyhow, strangely enough, it seems to show me more people online now than it used to. (less orphaned people)

ICQ is the worst.
But as I've found out, people in this industry are among the laziest and most stubborn you'll ever meet .. so they won't switch. Now, sadly I'm one of them with an ICQ list way too long for my screen

Whoever said ICQ is anonymous is retarded. They're owned by aol. It's no different than using AIM (its actually less anonymous. it shows IP)

As far as what client I use....Miranda IM.

you can use icq, aim, yahoo, msn, jabber, or irc. (hopefully someone will write a skype protocol plugin soon)
lots of mods and addons. logs/history....everything.
fully skinnable, fully customizeable through plugins (if you can code your own, you could make it do almost anything)

i just started using it a week or two ago and i love it.

Jabber looks great.Not many people use it though.
You can even setup your own private server for your company,friends,etc.
It also supports encryption.

My ICQ was hacked and stolen and I submitted several tickets and all I received was form replies. I tried the password retrieval and it did not work. They basically tell you to just "get a new number"

It's funny after years and years of using aim and yahoo I've never had an account hacked or stolen.

Well, i use GAIM for IM services.
Never had any problems, and it never came to my mind to contact support.
Afterall its a free service, as for a free service it works fine.
(ICQ UIs have ads...gaim and rest *nix applications dont have it )

Personally I like the new version of MSN. 8 Beta. It allows you to send offline messages, it has a search contact list function, it has an incredible file-sharing capability, it is an extremely powerful program. I think it will be the next icq.

Gtalk is using the jabber protocol so it will probably grow.
