Get trillian (www.trillian.cc) - in one program you can talk to anyone on MSN/ICQ/AIM or even Yahoo, with no difference at your end.
Great program.

If you try trillian, it will wreck your msn account as well as everything else that you have. That's coming from experience. It is a shocker.

Moved to sydney, so flat out starting up a company here, and that sort of trifiling life rubbish, that wastes my time and in between posting on bigthugby.com, as it seemed appropriate.

Ran out of chins more like it....
I still hang onto ICQ for sentimental reasons *sniff* but I usually stay on invisible and then if I want to speak to anyone that pops on I make myself visible
I actually still use mIRC after four years! once again, sentimental reasons but the only channel I use ironically is dedicated to afl
no more of that a/s/l rubbish!

I have mine on but I hardly use it anymore. Bomber Spirit is now on MSN Messenger, and he's the guy I talk to the most.

I deleted ICQ years ago, it seemed to bugger my system up.
I use MSN Messenger now, but don't use it to chat to anyone I don't know already. My days of the random chat are well and truly over!!

Yep
There is nothing worse than logging in and having all these popups, saying, so and so has added you to their MSN list, would you like to add them, or block the? And having no idea who they are or how they got your address!!

My computer can't handle having both ICQ and MSN going at the same time - to attempt it makes the thing crash. So a choice had to be made, and MSN it is - majority rules, and that's what more people I know online prefer to use.

Still have it but don't use it much at all. Sometimes log on, but only on invisible.

I still keep icq open just incase anyone of interest is on there (Hi Brampta )
I don't tend to use msn that much anymore either. I tend to use yahoo messenger more now.

I don't use it much either because of all the SPAM & pr0n site's
Nope. Never use it anymore. When my computer crashed back in summer, I lost ICQ. For ages I didn't bother to download it again, but then I decided to, coz I'd lost contact with some of the people on my list. Anyway, I downloaded it again, but scrubbed it after about a week. I don't like using it at all, it's so inconvenient and...yeah, I just prefer MSN!
I use it to send SMS!

I like icq better for a couple of reasons - the fact that it keeps the history automatically, the fact that you can go on invisibly (on msn you have to go on full visibility, and then change), and that you can actually talk to people when you're on invisible. I also like being able to send messages to people who are offline, when it's something that doesn't require an email.
Having said that, I rarely use it anymore, only because there is nobody on there who I talk to anymore.
What I hate about msn is that it automatically loads up when I load outlook. I've tryied to change this over and over again, but nothing works. Sometimes I don't want to talk to people. Other times I'm not actually at the computer and I come back looking like I've ignored people.

I use it! you can send messages to people while they are offline and that's great! I don't do much 'full on' chatting, so a comment here or there (mainly to one friend), icq is the best method for me.

Never use it anymore. ICQ seems so passe.
Not to mention, it uses too much memory and takes up too much space on the hard drive. If Jennifer didn't still use it on the odd occasion, I'd just delete it from my laptop completely.
I have all the other IM'ing devices-- MSN, AOLIM, Yahoo's instant messenger-- and I prefer to use those instead.
Cheers,
William

MSN is a **** truck of a program that never ****es off. Even when you delete it from the system tray it still leaves its feaces lying around as different tasks. Death to msn!
