ICQ Etiquette - Basic rules? - GoFuckYourself.com

OMG Jim · 05-30-2006, 11:43 AM

I have found ICQ to be very helpful in reaching the people I need to get in touch with. One thing that I would like to know is ...

Is there a proper way to end the chat? 10-4, Roger, Over and Out, Later..... I mean sometimes I say goodbye three or four times cause I don't want someone to think I'm rude or just leaving a discussion.

Any suggestions on an "Official" goodbye on ICQ?

Just like a phone conversation. "Nice chatting with you, take care, bye!"

WDchris · 05-30-2006, 11:44 AM

that's a good question. how about L8R

often times I won't type anything to end the conversation.

It depends on the person I am IM'ng with and how busy I am.

FreeHugeMovies · 05-30-2006, 11:51 AM

Rule 1:

Also say hello and be sure they are on your ICQ list before you send them big messages with URLs

Tom_PM · 05-30-2006, 11:52 AM

Hm, most of mine end with Thank You and I reply You're Welcome and thats usually it.. You could always go with "hugs n kisses xxxooo" hehe

DesignWise · 05-30-2006, 11:54 AM

i user "ttyl" or "laters man".. leaving a conversation is rude..

nico-t · 05-30-2006, 11:58 AM

a completely different thing; are there SEO bullies crawling around on ICQ hitting up people to change the hardlinks of the competition or something?

Because everytime I try someone to change my hardlink on their site for SEO purposes, it scares them off... like they dont believe im really the site owner... It happened with three people already. They just stop talking or go offline.

fris · 05-30-2006, 12:03 PM

i usally just walk away.

webgurl · 05-30-2006, 12:07 PM

I end with some sort of emonicon face = that usually means okay bye now ...

Mighty Chin · 05-30-2006, 12:10 PM

I just say I gotta go and I'll talk later

Deputy Chief Command · 05-30-2006, 12:16 PM

form some reasons all of my ICQ convo's end with

"when I see you in real life I am going to fucking kill you"

and thats not me saying bye ...

CaptainHowdy · 05-30-2006, 12:19 PM

It's always really niche to get an "Hello... Are you around?"... or a "Talk to you later"

!

Funbrunette · 05-30-2006, 12:20 PM

Good question Jim...I've been using ICQ for a long time, I'm lost without it....I simply try and use the same etiquette as phone etiquette...If someone is busy I usually wait until they're available and NO CAPS THAT'S RUDE...lol

HollywoodChris · 05-30-2006, 12:23 PM

ICQ takes away a lot of the formalities of a "live" conversation but it all depends on who you are talking to. When Russian spammers hit me up I pretend to speak Spanish...lol jk ( you know who you are though )

Odie · 05-30-2006, 12:23 PM

most ppl I find don't say good bye. They forget they were havinga conversation with me and never come back!

I guess that makes me forgettable...

madawgz · 05-30-2006, 01:44 PM

ttyl works fine....

my conversations usually end like this

"Well it was nice talking to you ________ .... are you going to be billing my credit card for the 3.99/minute , or should i send a check?"

nancycash · 05-30-2006, 02:04 PM

i say "good luck!" usually

Furious_Male · 05-30-2006, 02:09 PM

SgtStrider · 05-30-2006, 02:49 PM
