How do you speak to people online?

What medium do you use to talk to people? Just curious.

when i remember to turn it on, MSN

You need a "Forum" and "IRC" option to choose from.

I used them up on the other ones... Crappy forum and it's 6 options only, BAH!

Forums and IRC are a bit different to the others though...

I use MSN. I think it's about the only one who stands very little gain from your use of thier product. With the touchy situation of bundling software with thier OS, MS also has no need for spyware/addware clingons.

Msn, and Yahoo.

I'm not giving out either of my names 'cause I already have to many people on my list :razz:

teehee you think people would actually want to talk to you

I am a loser, so I have all of them on.

Haven't we moved on?

looks like somebody can't take a lighthearted joke!

MSN all the way, AIM is the work of the devil, I try to stay away from all Yahoo related stuff.

/tries to think up another way of saying, "Woops."
Woops. Sorry bout that :biggrin: :heee:

I find MSN to be annoying. Yahoo is too girly looking. Most people I know are on AIM, so I use that. I'm trying to find a version of GAIM that doesn't exit when you close it, that'd be nice.

at the peak of my clan time and mapping, my ICQ contact list was over 300.

you should have heard it, it was so funny. ICQ goes "uh-oh" when you receive a message, when i would come back off the road, i would log in to ICQ and it would go "uuuuhuuuhuhh-ohohohohohhhh-uhuuhhuhuh-ohohohoh" some times for a minute or so.

anywho's, enough nostalgia :smile:

In your day eh orph? :razz:

says in small voice
yes.

There are people i know that are on Yahoo, MSN, and Aim - i dont like any of their messengers, Trillian all the way :smile:

All of the above?

In a condescending, harsh possibly racist/fascist/chauvinist way. Oh wait! I see!

IRC/MSN Mainly :smile: i voted other

I used to use ICQ in my HLDM playing days, but then my friends from
school started getting into using the internet and used MSN, so I kinda
converted to that. I went through a spell of using Trillian but I never
talked to my ICQ contacts anymore so gave up on it since I was only
really using it for MSN anyway.

Nowadays however I'm only rarely on MSN - most of the time I just use forums and IRC.

MSN. Because everyone uses it.

Are you running in Linux or Windows?

If you're in Windows, you can just go into the options, and into the plugins- there is a plugin called "System Tray Icon."

With that enabled, when you click the X, it collapses it down into the taskbar.

I'm talking about GAIM on Linux, actually. But thanks though :smile:

I'm slowing migrating over. I figure, enough is enough. I need to stop being lazy about it ... and I need the f**king ISOs I download to work after I burn them

I use the new trillian becuase it is perfect for me. I dont need
all that extra crap and those horrible sounds that come with MSN and
AIM, I like the small compact windows the clutter free option of
running all my chat programs in one place. It dosn't automaticaly
set its self to start on boot. It is just a simple chat
program. The one thing I hate about AIM, MSN, Yahoo are all the
adds. I want to chat with my friend not play online pool or see
how the damn stock market is doing.

IRC , forums, msn , chatrooms online, a whole bunch of stuff

Yeah, I missed the forum & msn option.

Good old days I used to conversate mainly through my forum... good old spamming-days indeed... :smile:

Well speak to lep, I would put it in but I reached my limit, and what I chose there seemed to be the best choices- forum is a bit iffy really...

I'm generally a forum lurker and IRCer myself. I have ICQ but never ever use it, I only ever get emails that are spam or newletters, in short, noone likes me. :sad:

IRC, AIM, forums.

IRC and MSN.

quoted for emphasis :biggrin:

MSN, will be switching over to linux soon so will be using what ever is on there.

Sloth- check out Gaim for chatting in Linux- http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

Also, if you ever do figgure out how to make that work in Linux, crono, please let me know.

Truth is I hate forums. I dont like to read opinions of people
who act like ass hats. I also dont read through them very
fast, so by the time I post a replay 23,000,800 other people have
posted and gone so far off topic I should have just slaped my well
though out idea into babble fish and replyed in german.

I lose track of what threads are important and that I have posted a
question, commen, or flame in. I hate flames in forums, people
take everything anyone ever says in the most possible negative way.

People also generlize like they some how know everything (see above text for example).

I also cant spell and FF dosn't support a spell check thingy so I tend
to look like a moron when I spell 'dose' wrong. Though
spelling/typing is really why I dont work verywell on the
internet. I'm also very sarcastic and emotions like that dont
translate well into text....

/cry

Thats why we have Sarcasm tags!

Trillian all the way

Thats why we have Sarcasm tags!

well this forum is great, I would hug snark pit if it were a real thing.
