Seriously, we do we all use ICQ?
 
It is a huge piece of crap. Non stop problems (and spam) for me. Have not been able to connect in a few days now.

Klen 05-28-2011 08:50 AM

Yeah it sucks,but majority still using it so you cant do shit with it.I suggest you try different ICQ clients till you find one which can connect

NaughtyRob 05-28-2011 08:55 AM

I've been mostly using Skype now and trying to get more people to chat on there than icq.

Rochard 05-28-2011 08:59 AM

Still ICQ. I haven't been having any problems with ICQ at all for some time now. It's become rather stable for me.

CurrentlySober 05-28-2011 08:59 AM

I use ICPoo

AdultKing 05-28-2011 09:01 AM

I use ICQ with Adium on the Mac. I never have any problems. I think the Windows ICQ clients have sucked for a long time. I am sure there are other IM programs for windows that support ICQ.

ICQ seems to be the IM method of choice in adult, I don't see it changing anytime soon.

scarlettcontent 05-28-2011 09:10 AM

icq works ok for me but I prefer msn or skype

Agreed:thumbsup


The ICQ for Mac that ICQ provides is night and day different than the one they provide for PC. No issues with the Mac one either.

Brujah 05-28-2011 09:19 AM

On Skype everyone wants to voice chat instead of type, lazy fuckers.

cooldude7 05-28-2011 09:20 AM

icq on pidgin, works like charm.

clicker 05-28-2011 09:22 AM

I would rather not it is just old school and now it is owned by AOL which I despise. I prefer skype.

Babaganoosh 05-28-2011 09:22 AM

I've dropped IMs completely. I'm a lot more productive without them. Anyone who wants to talk can send me an email and I will respond when I can.

MaDalton 05-28-2011 09:30 AM

no problems with trillian here..

punker barbie 05-28-2011 09:32 AM

i've noticed icq deleting peeps on my contact list. its so annoying. most recently ive been using gmail chat which has been working out well.

Chosen 05-28-2011 09:38 AM

ICQ works fine most of the time if you use alternative clients.

Herb Kornfield 05-28-2011 09:39 AM

Pidgim. :thumbsup

AOL/MSN/Y!/Facebook Chat/ICQ ...

AOL does not own ICQ anymore.

2MuchMark 05-28-2011 10:33 AM

ICQ Blows and has for years. It was a major cause of bad performance on my PC (back in the day that I used pc's). It got really bad when they started allowing sound in banner ads. I would never install ICQ again.

Today I use Adium which works with both MSN and ICQ networks but without the ads. More and more though I am using SKYPE and even iChat. Both work great.

shade001 05-28-2011 11:21 AM

I'm always amazed how much time everyone seems to have to chat..........and then they complain they have no sales.

sandman! 05-28-2011 11:25 AM

AOL does not own icq any more :2 cents:

Only because you dont know how to use it... :2 cents:

D Ghost 05-28-2011 11:29 AM

Skype it up

Tam 05-28-2011 11:44 AM

I much prefer Skype these days, but ICQ is a must have for most I talk to. I have version 2003b still and for me, that's the last decent version there is Every single time I try and get a newer version, I get nothing but spam, malware and all sorts of other issues.

Altwebdesign 05-28-2011 11:47 AM

havent had many issues with icq lately, i used to when i used it through trillian contacts were ALWAYS orphaning

Elli 05-28-2011 11:54 AM

I just use pidgin and it handles my yahoo and icq and msn accounts just fine.

ThatOtherGuy - BANNED FOR LIFE 05-28-2011 12:08 PM

SKYPE and ICQ Here.
I prefer Skype now more than anything.

spazlabz 05-28-2011 12:25 PM

ICQ here using the QIP Infium client. Much more stable and has a neat little anti-spam feature that works great. You can even make up your own question and answer for it.

jimmycooper 05-28-2011 12:38 PM

I never signed up ICQ account. IM is a waste of time and I really feel that communication done via IM is usually not as well articulated and thought out as it should be, so there's no need to bother.

same here ... set it so others need to ask for permission to add you to their contacts - check their info and if all you see is gibberish crap you simply block the fuckers ...

CyberHustler 05-28-2011 02:51 PM

See sig. Life is better.

I agree. I dislike being interrupted. Especially when thinking.
