Why should I keep ICQ?

I used to love ICQ ...like 15 years ago! Now, it is a major annoyance. I currently keep it open most of the time because I know that many webmasters and affiliate managers use ICQ still. But when I leave it open it constantly flashes back and forth between "available" and "busy" and I constantly see myself pop up on my own computer "Sam Rockhard" is now available. The fucking ICQ messenger makes terribly annoying sounds....links never show up when ppl send them to me....I often miss 3-4 messages at a time because ICQ stalls or cuts out? I get tons of worthless spam in languages that I don't even read. Tons of 3rd world people always want to "be friends" like they are just coming out of the 90's .....COME ON PEOPLE...

Anyone else have these issues? Anyone else want to say goodbye to ICQ?

I enjoy Skype IM way more than ICQ...it seems faster and I can manage multiple conversations much easier ....Yahoo IM is ok...I just don't see many webmasters on there....I really like the Google+ chat but Google suspended my Google+ profile and I don't know if I can still use the chat or not. Any other good IMs out there?
