Is ICQ obsolete? - GoFuckYourself.com

deltav · 07-05-2013, 05:22 PM

It's been obselete since prolly 2008. Never understood why the adult industry was so attached to it for so long...

baddog · 07-05-2013, 05:34 PM

Obsolete? No.
Used as much as in the day? No.

Sabby · 07-05-2013, 05:44 PM

ROFLMAO!!!

fuck.

It was obsolete when Microsoft bought them out. Now it's just bloatware.

brassmonkey · 07-05-2013, 06:00 PM

i dont use their software its bulky

i use miranda im

Rochard · 07-05-2013, 06:18 PM

I still log into ICQ every day. Need to move away from that.

globofun · 07-05-2013, 07:44 PM

Still useful!

ZombieMovies · 07-05-2013, 07:48 PM

I was shocked a few years ago to hear it was still being used. I haven't used it since perhaps 2001-02?

2MuchMark · 07-05-2013, 08:07 PM

I have only a few contacts on icq. Everyone we work with daily uses Skype these days.

nexcom28 · 07-06-2013, 12:28 AM

Useless and full of spam and spyware.

scarlettcontent · 07-06-2013, 12:43 AM

switched to skype years ago, pity there is no option to move contacts

just a punk · 07-06-2013, 01:06 AM

ICQ is obsolete. And both Skype and ICQ and insecure. Jabber (XMPP) with OTR encryption is the way to go. Fuck PRISM (Microsoft and NSA) and fuck FSB which has a total control over the ICQ conversations

Still use it, my list of contacts has been reduced though, still got a stack of 6 digit #'s

PornDiscounts-V · 07-06-2013, 11:07 AM

I use it everyday. I get a lot of work done with it. Not sure why haters hate.

facialfreak · 07-06-2013, 01:45 PM

No I slept it off. Now I'm going to get out of bed and face my life.

Or not.

I'm not feeling very chatty today.

Klen · 07-06-2013, 02:41 PM

Still icq is best,it's like a mail with ability to have instant communication due it's ability to handle offline message very good.So i dont even need to have it on all the time,just login,send message,log off,then login next day to respond and etc.And skype is so horrible when it comes to offline messages,i cant belive how it's possible to have it open for entire day,and get offline message which was sent days ago only next day.Had too many awkward situations due that.

Cyber Fucker · 07-06-2013, 02:44 PM

I think it's still quite in use by some. Perhaps it would be more popular if people were using better clients with an option of ICQ protocol. Original ICQ client sucks nowadays. Older versions have problems with connection. Personally I prefer email.

Yes, but in order to have this idea put to work more people have to start using it. How to convince people that there are better things to communicate? People just follow trends and easy idiotproof solutions and they ignore logic and facts.

Sarah_Jayne · 07-06-2013, 03:32 PM

I'm using it less and less in favor of Skype but my biggest affiliates still use icq for some reason. So, not going anywhere for me until that ceases to be the case.

Nice indicator, like I said ICQ is a must if you are really in adult business.

Scott McD · 07-06-2013, 05:12 PM

Still load it up everyday, but don't really speak much on it these days... Skype is decent but far from perfect.

Crazy Enough · 07-06-2013, 11:10 PM

Yes. It is. I only use Skype.

NaughtyRob · 07-07-2013, 08:14 AM

Its old, it sucks but I am forced to use it. Skype blows it away its so much better.

Cleo · 07-07-2013, 08:28 AM

Despite having Skype open all the time most people contact me via ICQ.

I use Adium for ICQ so it works just fine.

rowan · 07-07-2013, 08:35 PM

I'm still using ICQ 2003b, but pretty much only communicate with one person, and the occasional trade request.

Need to find something that uses end to end encryption. Skype is not that.

fogfever · 07-07-2013, 11:22 PM

what's icq?

Sophie Delancey · 07-08-2013, 07:55 AM

I way prefer Skype! ICQ just feels like the early 2000s.

PR_Glen · 07-08-2013, 08:00 AM

In my experience limiting your contact options only means you are available to less people and with regards to being in business, how can that be a good thing?

Elli · 07-08-2013, 08:34 AM

ICQ is still my main messenger, but I log into that account and my yahoo via pidgin. Before that I used Trillian. I haven't used the actual ICQ interface in probably over a decade.

I agree.. As much as I hate ICQ people still use it everyday in this business.

O MARINA · 07-08-2013, 08:57 AM

ICQ is alive forever.
See sig.

Mathieu35 · 07-08-2013, 09:37 AM

When I started with Gunzblazing over four years ago I was shocked to hear that I needed an ICQ account because I thought nobody used it. However, it's still a very important means of communication in our line of work.

Sarah_Jayne · 07-08-2013, 09:44 AM

I get asked fairly often by mainstream people why adult uses ICQ so much. I've always figured it is because it is the standard we decided on in the wild west days and we just kept going with it. I never liked using MSN, Yahoo or AIM because their history functions stank and if you are doing support for more than a couple affiliates you are going to need history files. Skype is the only thing that has come along that has a history function nearly as good.

stach14 · 07-08-2013, 01:34 PM

I still talk with some people via ICQ but prefer skype over it.
