Title: ICQ
Post by: Miyabi on January 13, 2010, 10:43:19 AM: So I downloaded ICQ. It seems to be a pretty intense messenger, sadly I have like no contacts. I flipped through what few people here had ICQ and added them if I knew who they were, but if you have an ICQ add me my number is 566999464.

Also, what do you think of ICQ?

Post by: Chaos on January 13, 2010, 12:59:17 PM: What do you mean by "intense"? I use Trillian Astra, so it would be easy enough to get ICQ. I've done so in past Trillian versions. Problem is, I can never remember my ICQ number. If anything, me having ICQ just gives me random spam from bots randomly putting in numbers. Good instant messaging, this is not. So I'm curious as to what you mean by "intense" or why you like it.

this pretty accurately sums up my experience with ICQ

Not that I have used ICQ in years.

It's kinda fun, except the ads.

The only marginally cool thing about ICQ was the chat mode where you could mock each other's typos. :D

ICQ is indeed interoperable with AIM. Or so Trillian tells me, at least.
