Question as to why people use ICQ over AIM

**cardinalvices** · 01-22-2007, 05:02 AM

ICQ? AIM? Fuck them both, use Trillian man ;)

**Brad Gosse** · 01-22-2007, 05:07 AM

ICQ is old school. Many of us used that 10 years ago+ before MSN or AOL IM clients.

Long live ICQ

I use both Trillian and Gaim (Trillian for my friends accounts, Gaim for work). ICQ is preferable to other IMs because it provides more annonimity - you can be a number as opposed to a name, it is the easiest to encrypt. ICQ also brings with it some nostolgia as it was the first IM of its kind (at least that I remember).

I think that ICQ is popular cause of the numbers

**chartgraves** · 01-22-2007, 07:04 AM

Yeah the lower your ICQ number the more gangster you are in this industry - street credit

I've just used ICQ for so long. When I had AIM, I used DeadAIM so that it kept a history. Which has been very helpful

**Gambit** · 01-22-2007, 07:11 AM

ICQ was around long before AIM and became the industry standard.

**skillfull** · 01-22-2007, 07:13 AM

ICQ is so 90s :P

**Jim_Gunn** · 01-22-2007, 07:15 AM

Not only was ICQ a good program, but at this point, it's as simple as the fact that ICQ is the most popular with adult webmasters and industry people.

i personally like aim better.. but i do love icq because it logs everything.

**reynold** · 01-23-2007, 03:17 AM

I guess because it's the pioneer.

**BoobleBob** · 01-23-2007, 04:34 AM

I prefer AIM but everyone in adult uses ICQ.

**tranza** · 01-23-2007, 04:41 AM

I've been using ICQ for 7+ years now...

**Redmanthatcould** · 01-23-2007, 04:55 AM

ICQ was purchased by AOL shortly after it was created.

**Klen** · 01-23-2007, 04:58 AM

I hate AIM it's a shit.I use trilian and icq,yahoo,msn module on it.

**12clicks** · 01-23-2007, 05:24 AM

because not all of us arrived in this biz via looking at naked pictures on AOL. ;)

**drjones** · 01-23-2007, 05:52 AM

I prefer having ICQ numbers and being able to give those out instead of the silly unique screen names you have to come up with, because everything is taken.

^^^^^

there's your answer

**Pornopat** · 01-23-2007, 06:05 AM

Hmmm partly because everybody started out with icq and partly because AIM is seldom used outside of the USA and this is a worldwide webthing...(AMERICAN online)

**DaddyHalbucks** · 01-23-2007, 06:06 AM

Skype is great, but it seems nobody in this business uses it.
