ICQ?
ICQ?
It occurred to me today after getting the 5th ICQ spam from some random spammer that I don't see anyone use ICQ anymore.
I looked through my contact list in trillian and the only contacts I have on ICQ are old Sojourn/Toril people.
Do any of you guys still use only ICQ, or do you also use AIM/MSN/Yahoo/Jabber?

You can use AIM to talk to people on ICQ these days. But yea, most people I know use those 3. Most of the asian people I know use AIM, offices use more Yahoo and MSN. www.meebo.com
BTW, still playing WoW?

It will be fixed in Toril 2.0.

Actually Ambar.. if they're in the call you can yell at them in person :) I've heard it done before.. it's quite funny...
oh.. the 4 i use.. I use yahoo on it's own and trillian for the other three as well as Skype :P

What's even more fun is skyping with a friend also in the group, then you BOTH get to mutter and yell obsenities at the monitor at the idiotic thing player x just did.. or Dammit.. why doesn't he LISTEN!!!! *grin* Or.. curse yourself for doing something stupid.
Then you have the SO who is sitting next to you eavesdropping who tosses the odd comment in. *laugh*
The other fun thing is when the people on skype realize that YES.. you really ARE a female player. *wink*

Woops I guess I should have phrased it differently.
I also run Trillian, connecting to AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and Jabber. However only a handful of contacts are soley on ICQ, and of those, they are old Sojourn/Toril players.
Because I'm getting a bunch of crappy spam from ICQ, I'm wondering if it is even worth keeping a connection open to ICQ since so-few people use it.
From what you guys are saying, hardly anyone uses ICQ exclusively.
Too bad the Skype client can't connect to the other IM protocols too.
p.s. Dartan: no, not playing WoW :)

I use AOL and hardly ever turn it on. I mainly use it to transfer programs to people or look at their hijackthis logs. I mainly use Vent to talk to people.

I've still got a huge list of folks from the mud over the last decade on ICQ. I rarely ever start YIM. Call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer ICQ.

Just FYI, you can prevent the spammers on ICQ from ever reaching you by simply going into preferences and in the Security->Spam Control area making sure all 4 boxes are checked. This will prevent people who are not on your list from sending you messages or World Wide pager messages.
