Been wondering how people talk lately... (getting tired of ICQ and it's registration crap)

Personally I like IRC the best, can talk to multiple people and has commands, nick-saving, multiple servers (unlike ICQ and such), scripts etc... :)

If your favorite's not in the list, then explain in the thread.

um, you forgot HLP forums... :p :D

Aside from that though, I tend to mostly stick with email, and use Trillian when it is necessary to have real-time communication.

Do you have it? I'm going to assume you don't...

1. get ICQ (www.icq.com, there's a download area)
2. run install and eventually you can get an account registration menu, fill stuff out
3. the default ICQ client automatically configures to your ICQ number as it gets it for you in registration
4. add people to your contact list by finding them (using an ICQ number or name/nick)
5. right click on things in contact list to find actions (you can message/send files/phone etc.)

Personally I think miranda is better for ICQ (http://miranda-icq.sourceforge.net/) but you still have to get an account via the default client (i'm pretty sure that's the ony way to get an account)

You can register via Miranda.

btw, Miranda supports nearly every IM protocol so there's no real reason to use that memory hog Trillian.



Not bad for an open-source program. :)

Unless you want skins and have more than 64 MB of memory

Can Miranda do this?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Well it's not as pretty as trillian but more importantly as far as I could see it doesn`t support IRC.

Out of curiosity, I just installed Miranda. Upon entering my ICQ details, I got an illegal error message. I tried again, with the same results. I am therefore uninstalling Miranda. Let us never speak of it again.

Bummer.  No problems for me.

Hey Vert, do they have a chat module for Miranda yet?
