Thats it - after 13 years I am dumping the POS ICQ!
 

What could have been, and once was, the best IM ever if AOL wouldnt have fucked it up has gone to shit. Imagine ICQ had voicecalls and all the other stuff they have nowadays in MFing 1999!!! Anyway I am dumping it - I only get this russian spam shit all day long and I am fed up. Too fucking bad I have to tell ppl to hit me up on msn or yim :( :Oh crap

hit me up on icq

Just use Pidgin :2 cents:

Been doing that for like 4-5 years...(its awesome btw) Installed "icq" to change all settings for max spam prevention etc - hasnt helped.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No shit, my shit blows up all hours of the night with adds from "Milko" and "Mikah" and shit with russian in the text boxes... I only talk to like 2 people on ICQ and didn't even sign up an account until I started posting here - this is the only place my icq number is listed too.

Just sucks because I like the actual messanger but damn is it annoying having 2-3 adds an hour from spam.

How will the Russian icq spam bots add you now?

You people who stay logged in 24/7 are retarded. I log into ICq maybe once a day, pick up messages, reply back and log out.... no spam, no issues.... ever. I also don't post my ICQ everywhere either... so YMMV.

Damn those Ruskies,ruin it for everybody,as stated in and out quickly to avoid the spam

:1orglaugh

Skype is where it's at.

well, some busineses needs to be logged on 24/7/365 ... otherwise the 5.99 client will start a "service sucks" thread.

After all, emails, phone and tickets are not good enough ...

...I also dropped ICQ ....

Pretty sure the only reason people still use ICQ in this industry is so they can use the ol' "What, you asked me for something a week ago and i didn't do it yet? My ICQ's been fucking up alot, i must not have got your message!" excuse. I've always had to deal with situations like that from people who use ICQ in porn. You see people posting about it here or there all of the time. Yet people still use it? I'm 100% convinced people only use ICQ so they have an excuse to be lazy fucks. I personally do not and don't see why anyone would.

this russian spam chit sux a$$ ... msn all the way :p

i personally welcome our new Skype overlords

Starting about a month ago, I've been getting 5-10 russian UIN's adding me per day, and one with "Xzibit" in the name.

Yo dawg, now you can get spammed, WHILE YOU GET SPAMMED!!!1
