Heck, I guess the main "Reason" I wanted another is 'cause I'm nosiy Hell ICQ is off more than on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Well, you've no idea how happy i'm to see someone who uses ICQ, over here where i live, everyone uses MSN http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif, don't matter what they said ICQ is far better than anyother IM.

LOL...I now have Yahoo messenger on now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: (OT) Instant Messages
 

ICQ for pseudo-email when they're away.
IRC for group stuff.
the others for at the moment stuff.

Re: (OT) Instant Messages
 

I tried to install ICQ once but it screwed up windows granted I was using ME at the time but it still soured my view of ICQ and I have never bothered to try again.

Hmmm...ME...That is what I am running..so far no trouble, give it a shot again, I am running ICQ Lite I do not know the difference between the two

Re: (OT) Instant Messages
 

ICQ Lite is the smaller client, with fewer features of world-shattering once-in-a-lifetime importance, such as SMS support. I would certainly advise to use ICQ Lite, unless you really need a single program to attempt to do everything you might ever need, from making coffeee to deciphering my Posts.

I use Miranda IM. Nice OSS multinetworking client, extensible through plugins.

It doesn't have plugin to decipher cryptic Posts, though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
