Real people stopped using ICQ a decade ago, due to it being annoying and shit compared to MSN Messenger. Why did adult people stick with it?

I don't understand why anyone uses anything other than GTalk and Skype.

I haven't used ICQ much the last few years but I just installed ICQ 2003b Pro (an upgrade from my previous 2001b version) on a brand new Win 7 64 bit laptop solely on the off chance some industry contact wants to contact me there or vice versa.

That's too damn funny. Microsoft announced it is shutting down MSN / Live Messenger March 2013. They lost half their users in the past year and can more easily monetize Skype.

Which part of "a decade ago" can you idiots not understand?

Hint: "a decade ago" does not mean "2013".
