    Is ICQ obsolete?

    I havent used it since 2009. Just loaded it up. For some reason I remembered my ICQ number and pass of the top of my head... Like a bad omen lol.

        It's been obselete since prolly 2008. Never understood why the adult industry was so attached to it for so long...

          Obsolete? No.
          Used as much as in the day? No.

                It was obsolete when Microsoft bought them out. Now it's just bloatware.

                        I was shocked a few years ago to hear it was still being used. I haven't used it since perhaps 2001-02?

                                ICQ is obsolete. And both Skype and ICQ and insecure. Jabber (XMPP) with OTR encryption is the way to go. Fuck PRISM (Microsoft and NSA) and fuck FSB which has a total control over the ICQ conversations

                                                    Still icq is best,it's like a mail with ability to have instant communication due it's ability to handle offline message very good.So i dont even need to have it on all the time,just login,send message,log off,then login next day to respond and etc.And skype is so horrible when it comes to offline messages,i cant belive how it's possible to have it open for entire day,and get offline message which was sent days ago only next day.Had too many awkward situations due that.

                                                      I think it's still quite in use by some. Perhaps it would be more popular if people were using better clients with an option of ICQ protocol. Original ICQ client sucks nowadays. Older versions have problems with connection. Personally I prefer email.

                                                        Yes, but in order to have this idea put to work more people have to start using it. How to convince people that there are better things to communicate? People just follow trends and easy idiotproof solutions and they ignore logic and facts.

                                                          I'm using it less and less in favor of Skype but my biggest affiliates still use icq for some reason. So, not going anywhere for me until that ceases to be the case.

I've always figured it is because it is the standard we decided on in the wild west days and we just kept going with it. I never liked using MSN, Yahoo or AIM because their history functions stank and if you are doing support for more than a couple affiliates you are going to need history files. Skype is the only thing that has come along that has a history function nearly as good.
