Question as to why people use ICQ over AIM - GoFuckYourself.com

hostcentrex · 01-22-2007, 07:00 AM

Any Ideas. Personally, I really don't like ICQ. But what are your feelings?

cardinalvices · 01-22-2007, 07:02 AM

ICQ? AIM? Fuck them both, use Trillian man ;)

Brad Gosse · 01-22-2007, 07:07 AM

ICQ is old school. Many of us used that 10 years ago+ before MSN or AOL IM clients.

Long live ICQ

ScrivenerGrl · 01-22-2007, 07:08 AM

I use both Trillian and Gaim (Trillian for my friends accounts, Gaim for work). ICQ is preferable to other IMs because it provides more annonimity - you can be a number as opposed to a name, it is the easiest to encrypt. ICQ also brings with it some nostolgia as it was the first IM of its kind (at least that I remember).

Pinacolada · 01-22-2007, 07:30 AM

I think that ICQ is popular cause of the numbers

01-22-2007, 09:04 AM

Yeah the lower your ICQ number the more gangster you are in this industry - street credit

Peaches · 01-22-2007, 09:10 AM

I've just used ICQ for so long. When I had AIM, I used DeadAIM so that it kept a history. Which has been very helpful

Gambit · 01-22-2007, 09:11 AM

ICQ was around long before AIM and became the industry standard.

skillfull · 01-22-2007, 09:13 AM

ICQ is so 90s :P

Jim_Gunn · 01-22-2007, 09:15 AM

Not only was ICQ a good program, but at this point, it's as simple as the fact that ICQ is the most popular with adult webmasters and industry people.

TG Rebecca · 01-22-2007, 09:22 AM

i personally like aim better.. but i do love icq because it logs everything.

reynold · 01-23-2007, 05:17 AM

I guess because it's the pioneer.

BoobleBob · 01-23-2007, 06:34 AM

I prefer AIM but everyone in adult uses ICQ.

tranza · 01-23-2007, 06:41 AM

I've been using ICQ for 7+ years now...

Redmanthatcould · 01-23-2007, 06:55 AM

ICQ was purchased by AOL shortly after it was created.

Klen · 01-23-2007, 06:58 AM

I hate AIM it's a shit.I use trilian and icq,yahoo,msn module on it.

12clicks · 01-23-2007, 07:24 AM

because not all of us arrived in this biz via looking at naked pictures on AOL. ;)

drjones · 01-23-2007, 07:52 AM

I prefer having ICQ numbers and being able to give those out instead of the silly unique screen names you have to come up with, because everything is taken.

^^^^^

there's your answer

Pornopat · 01-23-2007, 08:05 AM

Hmmm partly because everybody started out with icq and partly because AIM is seldom used outside of the USA and this is a worldwide webthing...(AMERICAN online)

DaddyHalbucks · 01-23-2007, 08:06 AM

Skype is great, but it seems nobody in this business uses it.
