ICQ ACCOUNT CLOSURES: New TOS no Adult Allowed. 1000's of accts closed today.
 

ICQ closed thousands of icq accounts today that had any ties to adult. Its in the new TOS and today was the day.

Unreal.

Anyone effected here?

You kidding me right?

bullshit

ITs the truth. They have been spidering adult communities and the contact lists. It went into effect today.

msn live, yahoo, gtalk, aim and skype to follow!

lmfao, funniest goof yet I declare.

Ive heard about this too. That icq TOS was going to ban adult. I had no idea how they could implement such a thing but it looks like it has effected some.

Wow.

Link to their tos?

well we just a new messenger specially for adult then. one that we're all on.

Its true my brother works for the developers over there... today was the day

is this real?

The new TOS says clearly no adult. And accts will be canceled.

I was telling people about this a month ago. To leave icq because of this new TOS and to transfer contacts to skype or msn..

I had no idea they would do it so fast but I saw this coming.
Dont say I didnt warn you.
:disgust

Good, ICQ is doing what the online "adult" industry should have done years ago ...

I read about this in Wired Mag last month too. I was thinking WTF? Thats crazy.

One more reason to not ever login to my icq again.

bullshit

paypal also closed a shitload of adult accts too today. Its a sweep.

My paypal is still ok. But some big tubesites lost theirs today.

amazing the timing of this thread coincides with icq's scheduled update ;)

dude, how many characters you got on here these days?

ICQ sucks :321GFY

I use Skype:) ICQ is secondary now.

However yeah my ICQ is barfing right now.
It's just an update.

Hmmm.. Vince, Bone, and Anal posting in the same thread?
lol..

what IM are we all going to use then? I suggest gmail............

I just got off the phone with them.
They said we can fill out a form and sign it saying we are not going to use this for adult and they will restore it..

Can at least get our contacts off this thing before they close us again.

Yawnn..........

Good choice..
Can you assist me in getting the word out to the community?

We got froze about two weeks ago and we only sell domains. We're assuming it was a cam related name that got us. I usually don't even include the domain in the paypal info if it's anything remotely adult related. The only other way to figure it is someone we did business with got shut down and since we did business with them we were guilty by association. Either way they just shut us down with no explanation.

best troll attempt in years :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Someone is bored today ^^^

Yep. And that is also how icq is closing accounts.

Fuck ICQ, fuck Skype even more. Jabber is the future! :)

I live to give. Start a thread there AH. I'll bump you. we'll all have to change our sigs over the next week.

People are going crazy! we must find a new IM fast!
For the industry!

I just got off the phone with them again. They said more sweeps are coming. So if they havent closed you yet they will.

hahahahhahahahha thread failed

They must be the dumbest fucks in the world
What on earth do they stand to gain by killing all of the accounts?

Adult people are the only people who even use it, as far as I know

Maybe they became "known" for that

LoL

Business can be stupid as fuck some times

ya think?

I have just sent a strongly worded letter of complaint to ICQ headquarters. If we all write a letter maybe we have a chance of our accounts being reinstated!

Figures they are down... they're painting ;)

Good idea.
Im getting mine now.

Get them in.

who is ADAM X ?:1orglaugh

its to make way for the russian spammers I keep getting on it lol

Can someone please icq me when the network is back up?
LOL.

Hint. Its not coming back ya dumb fucks.

complete waste of time.

I love you, Anal!

LOL right.. They will ban people using ICQ in the adult business for text that they type to each other that no one else other then the ones in the convo can see? haha

I guess russian spammers are fine though :1orglaugh
