    ICQ frigging sucks - Why not MSN messenger instead?

    Everybody here seems to be still using this flawed ICQ system, it's a memory hog and just doesn't deliver like other im software like MSN messenger.

    Can anybody tell me why ICQ is preferred?

    I like the icq service mainly because of the offline messaging feature...but I haven't used the icq program in years....Trillain fucking rules, anyone that still uses the icq software obviously loves torture

      Hmm, just checked memory.

      ICQlite : 8k
      Msn : 22k


      I like ICQ's simplicity. I haven't had a problem with it... never.

      MSN often crashes for me, freezes up my computer or shows me as offline to all my contacts. And at least ICQ doesn't have that full on collection of annoying smilies and nudges that every knob sends to ya just to annoy you

          A lot of people here have been around for a while - ICQ used to be the best (only) option. It just seems to have stuck in this industry...

          You have to use what your peers are using and so it goes on.

            MSN creates conflicts, falls offline and is just as much a piece of shit as anything else.

                    Trillian roxors. I have Aim, Yahoo, Msn, and Icq all running. I can run multible instances of each too, so if I want to run two seperate icq #s I can etc etc.

                      I have no idea why/how/when ICQ became the standard in this industry. I use it because I have to.

                        exactly, i tink it runs really slow and is too complicated. too many options... no-one of my friends use it... no-one knows what it is.

                              ICQ and Y!M make my system grind to a halt. MSN is the only messenger I've used that works without any hassle at all.

                                      MSN messenger sucks when you have 500 + people on your list.

                                                    I have now 3 MSN accounts, 2 ICQ , 2 Yahoo! and 1 AIM running at same time with different photos and profiles, very good.

                                                          ICQ makes some webmasters feel cool, its an outdated piece of shit technologoy, BUT, you get a number instead of a screen name, making it way more 31337.

                                                                        Can anybody tell me why ICQ is preferred?

                                                                            Does MSN have a few nice features ICQ doesn't? yappp
                                                                            Does ICQ have a feature or two I like over MSN? yappp
                                                                            Do they both crash too often? yappp

                                                                            I haven't used an actual ICQ client in ages, trillian or miranda-im.org all the way

                                                                            Why pick ONE IM service to deal on? I guess I'm a little overly connected but I don't often like to argue with someone over preferences that don't really affect me...

                                                                            Do you mind if I like brocoli as long as the point was to get together for a bite to eat?

I hate ICQ, but I'm forced to use it because it seems to be the default for this industry. So I guess I'm a sheep too

                                                                                                when I am using Trillian I see NO difference between any of the networks at all....the only thing that is different is when a message window pops up it has a little icon to symbolize what service that person is contacting me on...other than that every single chat service is the same to me

                                                                                                Comment
