Oracle Porn · 11-19-2008, 03:49 AM

Corleone · 11-19-2008, 04:09 AM

Thurbs · 11-19-2008, 04:50 AM

TeenCat · 11-19-2008, 08:34 AM

i am using miranda but going to switch to qip which is the best after small testing ... check our qip it works really well for me

From my experience, Pidgin just sucks. Crappy successor to GAIM. I'm back to using Trillian.

Varius · 11-19-2008, 10:18 AM

Pidgin sucked, it kept losing group changes.

Trillian kept showing half my list as numbers most of the time.

I'm now using Digsby and it's solid so far, keeps my name/group changes, and also lets you plug in facebook, gmail, etc...

chupachups · 11-19-2008, 10:23 AM

Pidgin beats the shit out of those two. DONT use anything else. Install the extension packs and get a perfect IM.

Digsby was ALMOST good enough for me to stick with it. Major problem for me was the way it logged convos, and your ability to search through your history. I am running Trillian now again, but still flip back to digsby on occasion. But ya it should be in the list. Its VERY close to being "the" client.

u-Bob · 11-19-2008, 10:33 AM

miranda here

Max - RiotDesign · 11-19-2008, 10:35 AM

I´m stuck with Adium on mac, but on pc I´d have to go with Trillian... anyone tried the new Trillian Astra btw?

brassmonkey · 11-19-2008, 10:39 AM

miranda all day

bbm · 11-19-2008, 10:46 AM

Miranda +1

The Duck · 11-19-2008, 10:52 AM

Miranda.

Tom_PM · 11-19-2008, 10:55 AM

For a company that seems to almost corner a market, ICQ sure sucks horribly.

Why make it work when you can add more flash bullshit to bog down millions of clients computers? I think that is ICQ's business model.

Oh and while your'e at it, please add more advertising, and make the message window cover 1/4th of clients computer screens. No, do NOT allow it to be resized smaller. Duh! Oh and NO do NOT make it so our servers actually DELIVER messages sent to offline clients. Why that would be madness!!!!!! The moment you give people what they expected in the first place, you're fucked!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!

farkedup · 11-19-2008, 11:01 AM

bot sentry helps a TON I've been getting a dozen or more spam bots sending me messages every day

Ethersync · 11-19-2008, 12:02 PM

How about Meebo?

Way3 · 11-19-2008, 12:12 PM

Trillian here. Lots of people using Miranda! Have to check that one out! Thanks!

ICQ Had EVERYTHING years before all the other IMs, and if I AOHell didnt fuck it up it would have had 90% of the market.

hornycult · 11-19-2008, 01:03 PM

Adium on Mac, Trillian on Windows

D Ghost · 11-19-2008, 02:05 PM

I've tried them all - they all have ridiculous issues, none do it better than plain old ICQ (even though it's still sluggish sometimes) for PC... if you are on OS X use Adium

Klen · 11-19-2008, 02:09 PM

I using miranda pack moded.For some reason original non moded miranda always have icq timeouts.

Bird · 11-19-2008, 02:48 PM

fuck they all suck, that's why I switch when I get tiered of them. I have them all installed on my USB, http://portableapps.com/apps

Oh yes... And it makes me regret the day I switched to Trillian. I just keep sticking with it though because I don't want to lose my logs.

peedy · 11-19-2008, 03:09 PM

Used Trillian a couple years ago and it was pretty solid. Now on mac I use Adium but then tried Pidgin on my laptop still using windows and its a lot better then gaim ever was.

$5 submissions · 11-19-2008, 03:12 PM

I'll check out digsby. Trillian still fucks up from time to time for me.

Tylo · 11-19-2008, 03:46 PM

I personally like meebo.com, web based and never had any issues with it at all.

WebairGerard · 11-19-2008, 03:50 PM

pidgin on windows and adium on mac. prefer adium.

kane · 11-21-2008, 02:10 AM

I tired trillain and had endless issues with it logging me out of ICQ and not logging in properly. I tried pidgen and liked it, but was told it sent out very annoying messages to my contacts so I dumped it. I just installed miranda and love it. Lightweight, it seems to work well and isn't sluggish. That may change as I work with it more, but for now I am pretty happy with it.

elglorioso · 11-21-2008, 02:23 AM

digsby rocks, but they dont have a mac version yet
