MemberI use ICQ, IRC and Yahoo.
Yahoo is my favorite between those three. I love the way you send message by only pressing enter. Not like ICQ (alt+s). Yahoo is the only messenger i can use for audio and video chat. Beat me i dont know why MSN didnt work for me. Im almost sure there is something with my isp. Yahoo crashes all the time, but never changes my keyboard language, like ICQ does… extremely annoying, believe me… from latin to cyrilic 🙂
I love yahoo’s emotions :D, hate yahoo’s sounds (they are all disabled for me), especialy the BUZZZ thing……….I HATE IT :eek:… Imvironments are fun the first time when you discover them … after some time they are nothing special… Personaly i prefer the clear, white, small box…
IRC… has some cool features and some of my friends hang arround there all the time, so im using it EVERY DAY… oh, actualy i have an irc server linked to irc bulgaria network in front of me and right under my ddesktop pc 😉 hehe . I guess that explains why im using it so much :);)January 25, 2004 at 12:18 pm #51657Evan

MemberObviously, people DO use it. Just because no one you know does, doesn’t mean no one uses it. There is a whole world out there, you know.

MemberI only use msn, mainly because i dont know anyone who uses anything else, but also because its easy to use, easy to customise and there are loads of extra features with msgplus.

ParticipantUmm. I use AIM becuase everyone I know uses AIM.

And how can you go wrong with the GUI?

AIM you can just view them without saving it to your computer!It’s still saved to your computer, how else will you view it? But I see your point and you’re right.
I use AIM because most of my friends use it. In fact, all of them. But if you use DeadAIM and you hack it a little, it becomes rather good!

How can AIM really be your favorite?- The default AIM sounds are horrible
- Warnings – The worst feature of AIM, don’t get me started
- Rate limit
- It has AUDIO ADS; don’t those drive you people insane?
- The buddy-list window is full of crap (And hey theres even more coming your way in 5.5!)
- You can’t see who is on your list
- The spam is horrible
- The entire AIM client is buggy
- It’s made by AOHELL
- There are POPUPs in it now!?!
I could go on for days.
I love you! finally someone agrees with me. My best friend got mad at me when I got a “burn AOL” im icon, and she doesn’t even have AOL!:mad:

MemberI use AIM because alot of people use it, and you can mostly depend on people using AIM. But I rarly hear people say, whats your ICQ ID? Its mostly “whats your AIM screen name?”

MemberAlot of the time AIM is the “default” in a word im client to many. People just say, what’s your screenname and they know exactly what they are talkin about.
I’m sorry but I can’t stand Trillan. I just usually have both YM and AIM running at the same time….

Memberhm…….I would say MSN all the way, but I also have AIM because alot of my friends at American use it..so…I use both, but if I had to chose, I would chose MSN with Plus!

MemberI use AIM because everyone else uses it. No questions ask. I mute the sounds, and I take off the flashing thing, and I dont really care if I miss any IM’s.
