You simply haven't been looking hard enough... they are ALL better than ICQ, by a wide margin. But at least your second point is honest, that's the reason I keep getting from people.

Personally, I barely log onto ICQ anymore. And I almost never accept new Contact requests. I am trying to (slowly) let everyone know I can be found elsewhere and if they don't want to make the switch, too bad. There's always email.
:thumbsup

It was supposed to have been, I unchecked all the toolbar cack and everything :Oh crap

Never had a toolbar installed here, and unfortunately, I have done several installs of ICQ lately . . . all different versions.

ICQ is awesome.

At least 600

don't compare Skype to ICQ.
ICQ is used for text instant messaging and Skype is for voice: you need to talk to some one in another country ? Skype is the thing for you. it's free. and as long as both your Internet connection is good enough - the quality is great.
I think everyone should have Skype

coz' nothing compare ICQ!

Actually it's my fault. I AM very loved by many people - they all hit me up all day, and they want me to meet them or pay their plane fare from St Petersburgh to Canada...

So let me apologize... I may pick one soon so I can have someone to bear my puppies and cook our food, and then I'll just delete my IQ account.

Ok?

Adium for all .. but in my experience AIM has the by far the fastest file transfers off the lot ..

:thumbsup I never have a problem with it

MSN is alot better, ICQ blows but its industry standard so what can you do.

ICQ is great for me and till now i found no error:):):)
