I know everyone uses ICQ (which I think is stupid, do you know how many explots there are for it?!?) but what alternatives are there? I quite like Yahoo Messenger. It's a lot more user friendly.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

They all suck.
I just use ICQ because I'm used to it. The newer versions, post-AOL, are so hideous I always try to schedule any meetings on IRC.
-
theres MSNMS, if you have a Hotmail account or a msn passprot its easy to set up...
only a 5 meg download for the latest methinks....
and its useful as hell...
tells you if you have any new messages in your Hotmail account so you dont have to wait for the slow assed page to load....

I was using ICQ99b (which is much better than 2000 or 2001) until very recently. There have always been disagreements within my clan as to which program is the best and everyone uses different things, so I switched to Trillian about a month ago. So far I think it is simply great.

2001 has far fewer bugs than 99. 99 moght as well be setting up an FTP server on your computer.
-
I didn't really notice any bugs in 99b. 2000 and 2001 are full of ads though and the interface is a bit weird, so I decided to stick to 99b. Trillian is much better though IMHO.
-
I use Miranda ICQ now.
-
I'm using Odigo but its ICQ integration is buggy and it sometimes cuts out.
I can't run anything else, ICQ corrupted a lot of my software, AIM is crap, MSN is OK but severly limited and Trillian won't run for more than 5 minutes.
Rock and a hard place...

Well, I tend not to use messaging programs much because they eat up too much of the time I mean to do work in, but when I do, I use my... umm... fixed version of ICQ. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

*Sorry to go off topic a little (a lot actually (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) )*
I think it's interesting that a hacker was a person who attempted to understand something by taking it apart(not nessicarily computers). Until of course the media got their grubby little mitts on the word and changed the description to 'evil computer genius who's sole mission in life is to steal your information and destroy your computer'.
-
Yeah, that is annoying...I remember when I was trying to explain to someone that hacker really means someone good with computers, and not someone who cracks them... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

Tell it to H3C.

Oh god, not again! I hate that thing so much. In spite of this frighteningly real site created from the minds of dung beetles we must always remember that (http://www.bomb.com/no-mail.jpg)

You guys do realize that Adequacy.org is a satire site, yes? Go to the home page and read the bottom.
-
Even though we're always right, reading Adequacy.org is not a substitute for critical thought. Think before you write.

I love how they put all those little pics, definitions, and links in for things like "house". (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
"Neuromancer" a hacking manual! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) People only occasionally get that stupid, and then you can always tell because they have 50 pictures of Jesus and their cat on the site as well... this must be a parody.
