ICQ frigging sucks - Why not MSN messenger instead? - GoFuckYourself.com

xpics · 07-09-2006, 07:39 AM

Everybody here seems to be still using this flawed ICQ system, it's a memory hog and just doesn't deliver like other im software like MSN messenger.

Can anybody tell me why ICQ is preferred?

Jace · 07-09-2006, 07:41 AM

I like the icq service mainly because of the offline messaging feature...but I haven't used the icq program in years....Trillain fucking rules, anyone that still uses the icq software obviously loves torture

NoWhErE · 07-09-2006, 07:41 AM

Hmm, just checked memory.

ICQlite : 8k
Msn : 22k

I like ICQ's simplicity. I haven't had a problem with it... never.

MSN often crashes for me, freezes up my computer or shows me as offline to all my contacts. And at least ICQ doesn't have that full on collection of annoying smilies and nudges that every knob sends to ya just to annoy you

VicD · 07-09-2006, 07:42 AM

Too much of a hassle to change things, ICQ is ok

Damian_Maxcash · 07-09-2006, 07:52 AM

A lot of people here have been around for a while - ICQ used to be the best (only) option. It just seems to have stuck in this industry...

You have to use what your peers are using and so it goes on.

pussyluver · 07-09-2006, 08:04 AM

MSN creates conflicts, falls offline and is just as much a piece of shit as anything else.

L0rdJuni0r · 07-09-2006, 08:05 AM

TRILLION.........

Violetta · 07-09-2006, 08:07 AM

I like msn much better...

MakingCoin_Fatal · 07-09-2006, 08:10 AM

yea.. me too.. i prefer icq...

Trillian roxors. I have Aim, Yahoo, Msn, and Icq all running. I can run multible instances of each too, so if I want to run two seperate icq #s I can etc etc.

BoyAlley · 07-09-2006, 08:52 AM

I have no idea why/how/when ICQ became the standard in this industry. I use it because I have to.

exactly, i tink it runs really slow and is too complicated. too many options... no-one of my friends use it... no-one knows what it is.

scottybuzz · 07-09-2006, 09:15 AM

yeh same here, id prefer msn because everyone else i know in real life is on msn

MaddCaz · 07-09-2006, 09:21 AM

or how about AIM

Pandemos · 07-09-2006, 09:40 AM

ICQ and Y!M make my system grind to a halt. MSN is the only messenger I've used that works without any hassle at all.

Sultry_Selenia · 07-09-2006, 11:05 AM

xpics · 07-09-2006, 12:01 PM

What is GAIM?

fg4us · 07-09-2006, 12:08 PM

I use Trillian Pro...
I bought it around 1 year ago and I am loving it...
I have now 3 MSN accounts, 2 ICQ , 2 Yahoo! and 1 AIM running at same time with different photos and profiles, very good.
About offline messages, the newest MSN Live Messenger already support offiline messages.

Sultry_Selenia · 07-09-2006, 12:58 PM

From the GAIM site:
"Gaim is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, and Zephyr networks."

Doctor Dre · 07-09-2006, 01:00 PM

I bought trillian pro a while ago ... it kept fucking on me, database corruption etc etc.

Xplicit · 07-09-2006, 01:31 PM

ICQ makes some webmasters feel cool, its an outdated piece of shit technologoy, BUT, you get a number instead of a screen name, making it way more 31337.

madawgz · 07-09-2006, 03:10 PM

icq is used by alot of webmasters, msn is used mainly for friends...

BaldBishop · 07-09-2006, 03:44 PM

I use Trillian.

soulswagon · 07-09-2006, 03:51 PM

I've used Trillian Pro for a couple years (since version 2). I'd hate to have to use anything else. Like other's above, I have all my IM accounts (except google's new chat) all in one IM app.

xpics · 07-09-2006, 04:51 PM

i've used trillian before, i didn't like the interface....

Kimo · 07-09-2006, 05:18 PM

i like that we use icq because i pretty much have a seperate messanger for business!

Alot of us use icq because thats what we started with. Persoally I like yahoo a lot better. Although I still run icq to chat with my buddies who refuse to convert over.

:D

djroof · 07-09-2006, 05:25 PM

Just now installed new MSN Live Messenger!

TheJimmy · 07-09-2006, 05:29 PM

ICQ is old school, became the industry standard years ago...

Does MSN have a few nice features ICQ doesn't? yappp
Does ICQ have a feature or two I like over MSN? yappp
Do they both crash too often? yappp

I haven't used an actual ICQ client in ages, trillian or miranda-im.org all the way

Why pick ONE IM service to deal on? I guess I'm a little overly connected but I don't often like to argue with someone over preferences that don't really affect me...

Do you mind if I like brocoli as long as the point was to get together for a bite to eat?

BJ · 07-09-2006, 05:32 PM

I still use icq 2001. like the simplicity

Firehorse · 07-09-2006, 05:45 PM

There's one thing I've noticed about the adult industry - there are very few people "pushing" things forward and tons of sheep, just following. I hate ICQ, but I'm forced to use it because it seems to be the default for this industry. So I guess I'm a sheep too

nico-t · 07-09-2006, 06:31 PM

trillian rocks my cock

KrisKross · 07-09-2006, 06:35 PM

MSN really can't handle large contact lists.

woj · 07-09-2006, 08:15 PM

I very rarely have issues with Trillian

Its fully skinable. I dont like the default skin myself.

justsexxx · 07-10-2006, 05:48 AM

MSN live(8) does have offline message support as well...

Jensen · 07-10-2006, 06:00 AM

msn live for friends and icq for business.. no crash problems with either

Jace · 07-10-2006, 06:03 AM

here is what I find funny about it all

when I am using Trillian I see NO difference between any of the networks at all....the only thing that is different is when a message window pops up it has a little icon to symbolize what service that person is contacting me on...other than that every single chat service is the same to me

Magalie · 07-10-2006, 06:54 AM

I too, use Trillian ! This one is the best for business, you can have all your contacts at the same place; AIM, ICQ,MSN, YAHOO, IRC....

I don't like MSN because you can't rename your contacts...

I LOVE being able to rename my contacts

most of mine look something like:
Name - Company

that way I don't forget who they are...LOL
