what does it mean when the forum is moved?
just curious..
and by the way.. anyone use Yahoo messanger? :?:
HAHAHAH that thing sux
8O
It means I moved it deliberatly because you posted it in Desktops, when this thread actually belongs here.
I don't use trillian, I use MSN Plus (Like a hacked version of it, to give me a few more options) and Miranda ICQ, which is a dubbed down version of ICQ, it uses a lot less system resources.

alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllll IM software i need is aim no more no less

I like my AIM, I think it is probably the most widely used by the average person. I like the options it provides...no complaints.
http://wastedinfluence.com/downloads/miranda.zip
0.53mb (around 500kb), not warez so don't worry. It's an older version which I prefer.

I use ICQ, AIM, MSN and Yahoo. Ive used Trillian and didnt like it because all the skins sucked and it was all my buds were mixed together.
I prefer AIM.
Mr.Penguin
01-13-2003, 04:52 PM
you should realy re-check on the skins. There are thousands of them out there. Some are really really good. So just go check them out, becuase TRILL RULES. WOO HOO :D
yea 8O

I usually use MSN, just to talk to a few people i know, and i use ICQ to talk to people i know on the net. And i use mIRC for good 'ol spamming.
Shamus

I use Trillian for AIM, but I hate how it handles ICQ so I use ICQ Lite for that, although I may go back to the full version cuz lite is all weird..

Trillian is tight, aim is too simple, ICQ fucking sucks, msn is fine but why waste your time with 1 when you can get 2 3 or even 4 IM programs on 1? >>>>Trillian<<<< http://moonshaye.netfirms.com/icons/busy.gif

I use AIM+
overview of AIM+ (http://www.big-o-software.com/products/aimplus/?PHPSESSID=86661810d6fba5dc3f19fc8f377614cd)
AIM+ is AIM with a bunch of other features, no ads, cloning, and what not, most people I know use AIM. So, this is good because I can talk to alot of people I know still, but not have all the annoying standard AIM features.

ok i like trillian and msn. so i run both and have 2 msn things running. ok
I use trillian, i have every Im there is for some reason.. :?
Skins: I just use the standard 'whistler' skin that comes with Trillian Pro - but i modded the icons and used some from the 'Aqua' skin, which is a mac theme one.
Mr.Penguin
03-16-2003, 10:33 PM
this forum thingy is still going, wow. haha i started it like months ago. hehe tight. And by the way I used to be in luv with trillian, but now I just stick to aim. Trillian kept messing up my buddy list big time, so I went back to good ol Aim. 8O
Yeah, i guess some guy just decided to bring it back up..
I remember some-one got banned for doing that :? (but he was a fuckhead :D )

Sorry, you are all wrong. The best IM client out there is Proteus (http://www.indigofield.com/). Not only does it do AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC, and YIM, it does Jabber and Gadu-Gadu.

lol, sorry for brining this old post back up, but DeadAIM is pretty sweet. It costs money now of the guys site, like a dollar I beleive. But... hmm.. I'm to lazy to send him a dollar so I found alternate ways of getting it. ;D (and no im not promoting you pplez to do this.! ;) )
Trillian.. Pro, And I paid for that too :o
JosiahQ
06-13-2003, 06:25 AM
I'm having a hard time understand why there is any debate. Currently Trillian Pro stands as the best messaging client out there, accornet to C-NET reviews etc., and GAIM and DeadAIM and great up and coming all-in-one messaging clients.
I mean, it's so 90's :) to even be using one of the original messaging clients, like aim, icq, msn, or yim; they lack the functionality of any of the all-in-one clients like Trillian, GAIM, or DeadAIM.

I use trillian pro cuz it takes up less space than having 3 - 4 messaging programs open.

06-13-2003, 04:13 PM
I Just use what my friends use... msn messenger. I know like a total of 3 people who use other messaging clients so it would be handicapped of me to get a all-in-one deal.

Yes, I too vote for Trillian, although I switched to mIRC for IRC.
I'm just not gunna add any more, it's just the same people saying the same stuff over and over. Close the thread maybe? :?

Threeboy
07-10-2003, 09:29 PM
awwwww yeah. krissy speak.
i use Trillian cuz my system can handle it. however, i hate how i have to either find a good skin that matches my theme or modify my current skin every time i change themes/desktops. i also like Miranda a lot. it barely uses any resources. i like it. i downloaded all of the various ports for it so i could talk to my msn and aim buddies. and so i could go in irc and receive rss. i used it for about a week. now i'm back to Trillian :P i just think it's better than all of the other hybrid messenger programs.
