I finally upgraded from ICQ 2003b
 

For many years... make that a decade I resisted upgrading my ICQ. I needed my history. I often go back into it to find shit. Reference shit. Today I said fuck it and upgraded to ICQ 8.

Very nice. Web ICQ is nice too. Getting on from anywhere to hit up somebody for a few minutes.

Well, congrats :)

Did you finally upgrade from you AOL email account to Yahoo as well?

I only use web icq.... can't believe people use this when there's skype and other more better stuff.

:: My 2 cents ::

I just signed in to yahoo messenger after a few years. Only 2 people online.

oy, marinka, sladest, you can always email me :)

I had resisted that change up until I signed on with MetArt. I had done it once before, and the upgrade was horrible. Fortunately, I had a copy of 2003b still hanging around, and I re-installed it.

The new version isn't bad at all though. :thumbsup

I upgrades from AOL 2.0 to Windows 8.0 and it seems like nothing changed.

I'm still using ICQ 2001b believe it or not on my brand new Win 7 laptop because it imported all my history and works fine.

ICQ should spend about 10K on a programmer to create a script to import any ICQ version database into ICQ 8. Then everyone would upgrade.

All the cool kids have it

I like www.imo.im

I'm still using it as well, sorry mine's 2003b, dont like the new versions. Also most people on my list have migrated to skype, so its seldom that I use it :2 cents:

2003b to me is the ugliest version of ICQ
ICQ 8 is actually a very nice update, much better than what they've been putting out in years

I switched to pidgin a long time ago, no ads like the icqs, and you can chat on various protocols it rocks :)

ICQ 8 doesn't seem to have ads either.

Icq 8 rocks

I have been using some 3rd party ICQ/AIM/Etc for like 7 years now... No problems with upgrading.

Currently using Adium 1.5.4 on Mac OS X 10.7.5 :thumbsup

ICQ is so 1999. I have managed to move everyone I care to interact with over to Skype 6 years ago. I just refuse to use out of date antiquated tools.

I use Trillian and it ROCKS - http://www.filehorse.com/download-trillian/
