Fuck Email -- how many of you still use email?
 

I'd say for the last year I've moved further and further away from email. I do all my biz on ICQ or the phone. Am I alone?

With so many viruses and advertisements and sponsor spam -- email has become totally useless to me -- out of 200 emails maybe I get 1 that is useful.

And I usually tell that 1 person -- please ICQ me or call me because I have no patience w/ email anymore.

It's really unavoidable to give out your email address to sign up for anything these days -- and don't bother trying to have your email address removed from mailing lists -- that just adds you to the "sucker human" list so you can be spammed by 100 other fucks. I get spam in french, chinese, for shit I've never even heard of -- people must use my domains to sign up for products and services... Whenever I sign up for any BS program I always use [email protected] to avoid spam in my box...

Fuck email.

And as for ICQ -- I'm suprised that we are all still using it -- but it really is one of the most useful programs ever! I get maybe only 1 ICQ spam every 3 months!

Hell no. I rely very heavily on The Pony Express.

How else can you send graphics? Recipts, licenses, newsletters?

What's wrong with you man? :arcadefre

I've been tying notes to pigeons and throwing them out the window...

pigeons are the way to go

I use smoke signals

cough, cough... me too.:stoned

i agree about the spam-mania but e-mail remain irreplaceable... it has got the good sides of both letters and phonecalls: one word - GREAT!

its called ftp smart guy:Graucho

any of you ever try 2 cans and string...decent speed and no viruses:glugglug

I couldn't live without e-mail.
ure, the ICQ is a very usefull tool in this and othet Internet business but not all of my friends have ICQ and I do get alot of usefull e-mails everyday.

If you know how to protect your e-mail address and you do not expose it all over the net the chance of it beeing collected by e-mail harvesting programs is quite low. Thus the ammount of spamm wil be moderate to low...

Oh yeah I almost forgot. It would be easier to send someone who might not even fucken know what the fuck FTP is a recipt, newsletters and such. dumbfuck! :glugglug

Ok, i tried putting my pigeon into a can with a string but when I threw it up in the air the poor guy just fell to the ground. I tried communicating with him thru the other side of the can/string but no response... I guess its back to email for me. :(

BTW>.... 3xguru, get that stupid sig off your shit. Its the reason were getting these macromedia plugin popups when we visit threads with your posts in them. I have tracked you down and now know its you.

Have you tried thowing a bottle into the ocean??? It works better for me than sending an email through Cogent's network :1orglaugh

There was a time though I was getting 30-40 SPAM in ICQ a day....(see icqis)

on that note, why the hell is everyone here STILL using icq? its the only community of people i've seen who still does for like 3 years. its by far the worst mainstream IM.

Everyone still uses it, because everyone still uses it.

Everyone I need to do biz wit is on my ICQ list and I don't know any adult webmaster that uses any other IM besides ICQ -- besides w/ the clones now like Trillian -- why would anyone NOT have an ICQ# ???

As for sending files -- FTP is the fastest option -- large files through email are a bad idea anyway.

I have 1 word...flapjacks.

If your server doesn't support flapjacks, specifically Flapjacks 2.0 you are lagging behind. Flapjacks have already begun to revolutionize communications as we know it. Email is dead. TCP/IP will die soon. Hell, in another couple of years, we won't even have use for dialup anymore. Thank God for Flapjacks.

fuck flapjacks, creamcakes and donuts make them obsolete

fuck icq... i always loose my number and have to register all over... now i got a number so big no one believes that i am in biz for years... even my hotmail address promises more creditability.....

I still use email alot...
But if I do use an yahoo one for alot of stuff...
Use Yahoo email for like search engines submits...
I also use yahoo IM. but the only ones on my list are
women..

I do not use Outlook so I don't have to worry that much with email Virus's.... I use Netscape 4.7 for my email and Newsgroup reader. IE for browser..... I really don't think I'll ever use Outlook... Microsoft is so fucked up...

I give out my regular email address's only to people I know usually...
and strange pussy's all the time....
