ICQ Lite Bites - GoFuckYourself.com

Mutt · 07-22-2003, 04:03 AM

did it happen to any of you? when i launched ICQ Lite yesterday I got a prompt to upgrade to the new version, tried to ignore it but eventually I noticed that the fucking thing wouldn't start unless I agreed to download the new version.

New version has banners everywhere they can stick them.
Does regular ICQ have banners? Some third party software I should download?

ICQ lite working fine for me. It becomes beta with last release, before that it was in alpha stage. Which version are you using?

dapproid · 07-22-2003, 06:32 AM

I think I'll migrate to some Open Source alternative now. Miranda IM or similar. Uses very little CPU power and works with MSN.

It's good stuff! I've been using it for about a month now and am very happy with it!

Martin · 07-22-2003, 08:33 AM

Same shit happend to me this morning.. Fuckers.

TheEnforcer · 07-22-2003, 10:55 AM

I have an older version of ICQ and I can't even get it to stay on anymore!!

If I'm gone for a couple hours it invariably has stopped working and I have to restart it. REALLY beginning to piss me off.
