MSN, ICQ, or both?

Matrix · 24-06-2003, 22:19

I was wondering what you're all using as PBEM players.

I've got both, but have a strong preference for ICQ. But as always, Microsoft has purged his own product up everyone's ass.

I stand by the opinion that ICQ is greatly superior: it has a dozen more options. But if you don't like them you can also use ICQ light (which is about the same as MSN). And if you are behind a computer another computer you can go to go.icq.com and then you have a IE-version of ICQ. There's something for everyone.

I leave out AIM and Yahoo Messenger; they're too rare and therefore uninteresting.

Ahh yes, I wonder myself why I use MSM. I guess it's because of habit alone now.

Maybe I should try ICQ again....

We really should all massively move to ICQ

(as I mentionned a few weeks ago...)

Aggie · 24-06-2003, 22:57

I'm not going to move to icq...I have too many people on msn to swap

. Trillian isn't an option in noticed.

Then you have both too, like I have Aggie. But at least we can chat with ICQ with fellow PBEM players!

ProPain · 24-06-2003, 23:20

I have both and totally agree with you on the MSN/ICQ issue. Lets switch all together!

Cruise · 24-06-2003, 23:20

Trillian all the way here

WildFire · 25-06-2003, 01:57

Trillian!

I use AIM...

What about IRC?

ERIKK · 25-06-2003, 08:10

Only MSN!

Trillian - a friend of mine can't use MSN because of the network at work but ICQ sucks too much for my taste to use it exclusively.
