Do you think ICQ users will switch to Skype?
 

Seems most of my ICQ list is on skype now.

Is ICQ finally going down?

not going to happen

I would guess that 25% to 50% of GFY users already use both ICQ & Skype with more adult industry members adding Skype every week.

Personally I like the free long distance voice feature on Skype but the majority of my industry contacts are currently on ICQ.

In terms of IM communication both ICQ and Skype equally serve the same function :thumbsup

no one uses it but porn webmasters and russians. not much left to switch.

:2 cents::2 cents:

:2 cents:

Don't even get me started on how much I fucking hate ICQ!

This. It's bloated, inefficient and terrible for keeping track of things.



Now that I agree with you, can I have a discount? :1orglaugh

no ............

No, they're going to MSN.

i only keep open icq for those loosers that dont use skype

I don't think so.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh suttle

i love skype compared to ICQ and no Annoying Uhh Ohh sounds.

loser
subtle

You mean the alerts you can turn on or off that allow you to step away from your pc but still know if someone is responding to you?

I hope so. I hate ICQ.

Thanks :thumbsup

haha I will give you 5% off cause you hate icq :thumbsup
But please e-mail to get your discount cause I hate ICQ

Been in the biz since 1998, I used ICQ for about 15 mins before I uninstalled it and never looked back.
The 2 biggest misconceptions in adult, that you HAVE to use ICQ and you must attend webmaster shows. Somehow I still managed to prosper, communicate and network with others in the biz without doing either.

I hope so, but when?

hopefully
...

I wish more webmasters used MSN more often...

never :(:(

like everybody else I hate ICQ with a passion, but heh, skype will not replace ICQ in the near future I am afraid.

I'm moving as much icq contacts over to skype as possible but I don't see ICQ going anywhere soon... :(

icq is loaded with spam.

Really! lol god I hate MSN lol

Maybe msn will buy skype and ICQ and we all can get along.

I have never been spammed on mine. :batman

Skype is the only "mainstream" encrypted chat. It's a no brainer.

if it works, why fuck with it?

fucking hope so

I fucking LOVE icq. I don't see it going anwyhere just yet. It's still the main way internet porn industry people comunicate. I am always amused when people put down boards, ICQ or webmaster conventions. I have gotten so much business from those three venues that I hear "cha ching" when I hear icq's "uh oh" sound.

I remember when ICQ was the #1 business IM client. It just never moved forward when all other clients did.

I think most people used it to start because it was the only IM client that recorded history.

I haven't been able to get that stupid sound to turn off. My office is in the next room over from my bedroom and the fucking thing has woken me up at 5am before with russian bots adding me. :1orglaugh

check your mute button...

Why dont you use for example QIP or Miranda for ICQ protocol?

Jesus. :upsidedow

That really sounds like a personal problem. :2 cents:

I use Miranda with icq protocol and I'm happy with it

recently I've downloaded and setup the last version of ICQ and it was "WTF?????". The piece of software is sucking monkey balls, no wonder why people hate it.
I'm using qip for icq protocol, and I'm quite happy with it, still prefer icq over skype.

ICQ has a pretty good voice chat

i use skype everyday now ..

happypeeker.s

if you need to hit me up :-)

If I wanted to call you... I'd call you...

I changed my sound scheme. No more uh oh's. Now I get a bored sounding sheep. :)

I have both Skype and ICQ and I have noticed more people adding me to Skype however, I think ICQ will be a necessary evil for a long time to come still.

im on both, have been for aggeess

This thread got me thinking. I think I'm going to start migrating over to skype or use them both.

I have both Skype and Icq as well. Hone turned me onto Skype, like it a lot:thumbsup Still need icq though, have an old version of it 2003b, dont have too many issues with it. Dont want to install the new versions, too many horror stories:2 cents:

I'm not a big fan of MSN, maybe it was because for awhile you couldn't send offline msgs. But these days I prefer Skype. ICQ is fine, but I'd love if more people moved over to Skype.

Why not just use both. I don't understand the need to only use one IM program. With the exception of skype you can roll all of your messengers into one with a programs like trillian and pidgin.

true, but skype is even worse...

just use miranda-im...
