Most used IM program

[Clutch]

I use aim myself. What IM program do you use the most? I used to use icq but it was a resource hog, or it seemed like to me, so I unistalled it about 3 years ago.

[Black Hawk]

Trillian :D

[DJ-Quack]

Trillian over here too. In fact, Trillian pro. I chose not to use yahoo because it sucks :-/. I also use IRC, although not through trillian, just mIRC.

[Xenogeared]

mIRC
whatever the current version of AIM is
and GAIM on my linux box

[kevin]

Trillian pro, paid for by DJ. mIRC too...occasionally

[Geekster]

Trillian and X-chat

[EMT]

Been using AIM for at least 4 years, haven't found a reason to change.

[Enverex]

AIM, ICQ and MSN :(

MSN - College
ICQ - SWAF and IC
AIM - Other People

Though Im about to uninstall ICQ due to an annoying security risk that just popped up.

NS

[Aranyic]

Trillian for Aim/ICQ/Yahoo/MSN and mIRC.

[Peckers]

ICQ, has always worked fine for me.

[Enverex]

It may seem like it now, but just wait till people start adding themselves to your contacts list.....

NS

[karatekid]

Trillian Pro and mIrce under Windows, and Gaim and X-chat for under linux. Still fell alittle odd about paying money for an IM program, but Trillian Pro is a kick ass program.

[Tweaked!]

Aim and ventrilo here. I use aim to chat with friends, and we use ventrilo to voice chat with other staff members of the forums I mod on. Ventrilo brings things to much more personal level and helps to keep any misunderstandings to a minimum. :cool:

[kryyst]

Trillian for use with M$ Messanger and ICQ

[BLuKnight]

Trillian all the way!

[Godwynn]

mIRC
ICQ
MSN

[hpr]

i uh, normally jsut use aim, but i have an icq number and a msn id so I will use trillian pro agan once my rig is back up. :( but there are some things about trillian that annoy me, like in profiles, i can click any links or make links and half the time my profile disappears and changes back to "My Profile" >:[

oh, and irc of course >:]

[Chilak]

Could it be more obvious which one is used the most? Of course trillian.

That's mainly because trillian can be used with most all the above, but the thing I didn't care for about trillian was the sounds it makes when you recieve a message. Can't turn them up loud enough through their options, so then you have to resort to upping the volume on the speakers and then everything else comes in too loud. I use aim because it's loud enough that I don't have to mess with the volume and can still hear it if I'm in the other room doing something else.

[EMT]

I assume it has .wavs or whatever with the program, can you edit them to make them louder? Sounds annoying though.

[ness_25]

Trillian Pro and mIRC on occasion. I've mainly resorted to the IRC features in Trillian as of late though.

[Massive_gas]

Trillian
mIRC (because trillian IRC sucks!)

[EvilMathNinja]

Trillian and straight up mIRC because they both own all. ;>

[trippin]

Deadaim and mIRC (no name script)
I have never had the need for anything but aim for instant messaging.

[danball1976]

I use the following in order of most used:
Yahoo IM
MSN Messenger
AOL IM
ICQ
mIRC (but I don't consider this an IM)

[jdccb]

I use mostly AIM, and occasionally some MSN. I didn't like Trillian too much when I tried using it, it just wasn't as nice for me as the others were, is Trillian Pro any improvement over the standard old Trillian?

[ness_25]

I'm not too sure on the big differences between normal Trillian and Pro, but I'm sure trillian.cc will help ;) I've used both and I just really prefer Pro for reasons unbeknownst to me. Well ok maybe I know the reasons, but I can't think of them off the top of my head, heh.

[LawnMM]

Icq
AIM
IRC

[tUx]

mIRC and Windows Messenger.

I would suggest you download the Minibrowser plugin from the Trillian website (www.trillian.cc). It lets you view the profiles in all their html glory.

[panzerkw]

Depends where the people I want to contact are. The people on my AIM list are in the US. The people outside the US are on my Windows Messenger list.

[ktulu_tco]

AIM (DeadAIM)
mIRC (Sysreset)

[Enverex]

I think I may now have to start using trillian, I cant deal with 4 IM programs at once.

NS

[danball1976]

Hey, can trillian access my buddies from MSN, Yahoo, AOL, and ICQ?

[panzerkw]

"Connect to ICQ®, AIM®, MSN® Messenger, Yahoo!® Messenger and IRC in a single, sleek and slim interface."

-Trillian website

[danball1976]

Does it cost anything?

[DJ-Quack]

Sweet jesus, read the ****ing site!

[danball1976]

[drowd]

MSN for talking to lamers who dont use IRC
IRC (efnet) for talking to everyone else

[Chilak]

Trillian here too. I just converted.

[SpY]

trillian, but it annoys the hell outta me. send msg's to people and they dont even get em sometimes, and vice-versa, many other probs too but hell, its still a great prog.

[danball1976]

Have you upgraded to the latest version? Its at .72

[KilJaeden]

Strictly MSN

[Enverex]

I liked the originals, but to that I would say so. I know a few people that converted due to pro.

[DJ-Quack]

Yeah, Pro is a good bit different. It gives you more control with the contact lists, plugins, more options, new connection manager...it's real nice.

[Sleepstalker]

I use Trillian Pro and haven't had any problems with it. It's the best.

[topherice]

Trillian

[danball1976]

Too bad you can't use you webcam with Trillian.

[DJ-Quack]

Danball, there are other ways to make money :-(
