Fucking ICQ.... Anyone else have this problem?????
 

So last week I decided to sync ICQ with my Facebook and Twitter accounts... welp, big mistake. It did the integration just fine but then suddenly deleted OVER HALF of my existing contacts in the process.

Anyone else experience this problem? What a huge fucking bummer. :Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap

Can anyone recommend me an alternative client. Is Pidgin good, or whatever its called?

I'm glad more and more people are making the transition to Skype, been talking with an increasing number of people on there each and every day it seems.

Long story short, I'm pissed. :mad::mad::mad: If you talk to me regularly on ICQ, please drop me a message real quick so that I can re-add you!! :helpme:helpme:helpme

http://pidgin.im is worth a shot, it is rather basic.

Eat some ice cream.. :)

Don't let ICQ touch your stuff.

Pidgin/Audium is the best!

ICQ is so 1996

Imna feelin it again...

i ditched icq... way too many fuckups lately... :(

Yeah I'd like to move away from ICQ too, but so many people still use it.

Download Trillian from here trillian.im been using it for a long time with np...

It sucks big time...

what type of ice cream is that??

Pidgin :thumbsup

I didnt do shit but start mine up and it deleted a lot of contacts... the ones I use day to day at that! It could have deleted half the idiots who continue to waste my time, but no, all my important contacts.

Jayvis I lost half my contacts as well.. They can see me yet I can't see them. When they re add me all the history is present.

Same as me dude, it totally sucks!

rule # 1 .... dont change anything on icq, or its fucked. I had to reinstall everything last time I tried to change things, no more ! I gradually steer all contacts over to skype:thumbsup

Trillian Pro FTW!:pimp

dude, same here! It deleted everyone from the office and the rest of the people I talk to every.single.day. :1orglaugh

I'll take a look at these recommendations later tonight and see if I can make a switch.

Superman ice cream with marshmellow melted topping and sprinkles. Soooo eff'ing good.

I had it the other night and just happened to take a pic of it lol.

I'm about to ditch ICQ all together. Last week I lost several of my contacts that I have had for years. It's the most unreliable piece of software and I'm baffled why we still use it in this industry.

I still use ICQ, but I let it stand alone. I don't even activate the FB feeds it uses. I had them on for awhile, but it became too annoying.

Of course, I use Skype too... who doesn't?

Adium ftw.

"Uh oh!"

Used to dump people when I used Trillian to connect to it. Trying to keep it light now using the program itself, but it's always a crap shoot it seems with this thing.

I'm started moving to skype this week. ICQ is just a mess. And it's really sad there hasn't been a more concerted effort in adult to move the industry off of it.

I agree with you 110%

It's totally unacceptable that a piece of software would do that... and function (or in this case not function) that poorly. :error

I'm hoping for an industry wide push to Skype by the end of 2012 lol. :helpme:helpme:helpme

sorry, mate, it's really Skype era outside :)

You need to start dreaming bigger... faster! I say it can be done in three months, roll into Fall without the crashes, contact dumps, and general poor performance. Maybe we can get a banner spot here on GFY. :)

I pretty much only use skype now.

haha I'm with you man...

Vote Doug & Jay 2012 - Team Skype!! :upsidedow

Do you feel better? :upsidedow
