My ICQ Contact List Is Full !! What IM Do You Use ??
 

I have been deleting people to add people the last few months... It is pissing me off... Do you know of a way to add more people to your icq contacts list ?? If not what IM do you use an why ?? I lose at least one person a day too that tried to add me.. Just gone into ICQ nothingness (I know that's not a word)!!

I can assume you do use groups in your ICQ as well right?

Though I can not think of anyone that actually needs a full icq list let alone talks to that many people in this business.

AIM works for me, never had a problem with it.

I LOVE Skype

That is interchangeable with ICQ. Handles and numbers work back and forth.

gotcha, thanks

I don't know how many you have on your list but I have over 400 people, all in the industry. You can use and create new groups when the general one is full (at 200 or something I think).

Yea I group it by year..

I guess I need to make the switch...

Just delete some people, starting from the smallest postcount...

Been using Trillian with no problem! :)

I use Trillian and I think it limits it to 300. I have to trim it down now and then.

I am pretty certain I have more than 300 in my ICQ. I know I have a few groups with at least 75 to 100 each.

i use all the ims and login to them via pidgin

Skype, trillian works fine here.

adium ftw!

I recently went from Trillian back to ICQ and my problem is that it hasn't 'found' the names for people and so everybody is just a number. Is there anyway to force it to mass look up the names? If they add themselves now (ie they weren't on my list before I moved from Trillian) they are stored as names but it is the older (many, many) contacts which are just numbers. I have to rename them manually as they pop up.

Ahh is THAT why your not responding to me lol did I go into ICQ Hell?

Myself I use Trillian, and that covers ICQ, MSN, Yahoo and AIM, I do find that over the last 10 years allot of people on my list are dead accounts, and the upside of Trillian is you can hover over a name and if it says "ORPHANED" it's safe to delete them, cause they have not logged in in a year or more.

I don't think ICQ has a limit, only by group. I have 681 and counting now

AIM and Skype works for me pretty well :)

Actually I'm pretty damn sure there is a limit, I've heard many times over the years where people could not add anymore contacts without deleting one or more first.

Pretty sure that number would be like 1,000 or so, but I never came close to know for sure.

Skype works all the way for me.

ohhh I would have to see names.. On icq if someone has a number instead of a name I rename them as soon as I add them.. I lose peple all the time cause I forgot their name and icq crashes !!
