Messengers.

Im not a real messenger kinda guy :) <br /> <br />I only use MSN (not THAT much) <br /> <br />But I do use IRC (better as a messenger) and email, lots of email...

:snow is an IRC fanatic, online 24/7. <br />Resontly though, ive been using AIM quite a bit, mainly because im skinning it

mostly IRC, but once in a while MSN messenger. lucky i have written my own tweak-program for i hate thoose nasty commercials in MSN.

Once upon on time I used ICQ but stopped cuz it de-railed me from work (me will chat all day long if I open it so I stopped a long while back) <br />and to answer your question &quot;why&quot; cuz half the world uses ICQ (including all my family) so that&acute;s why I tried ICQ plus cuz at the time it turned me onto skinning...

hmmm uesd to be a big ICQ junkie, until i lost track of everyone i talked to... then skinning came along, and now it&acute;s trillian pro for me, and yes, i am connected to every service, including two IRC servers at all times (and sometimes multiple AIM names, but not always). I love the winamp plug-in and the mail notification too!

Trillian Pro.

Once upon &quot;on&quot; time? snow stop sticking words in my sentences that I did not type! hehe

ICQ - IRC <br /> <br />thatz all i need.. <br /> <br />In germany most of the people use ICQ instead of MSN... I think its better.

Trillian Pro...I use all IM clients (except msn) and I&acute;m on IRC from time to time so Trillian allows me to connect to all of em without desktop clutter. <br /> <br />Plus its nicely skinable :)

Definitely Trillian Pro... :)

Miranda actually. It&acute;s not skinnable, but it&acute;s incredably light and configurable. You can have an image in the background of the list too. Mine only shows user names (and resizes so it doesn&acute;t take up any extra spcae) so it&acute;s virtually skinnable for me. It has all the plugins you would want too: ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo*, IRC*, smilies*, news* (eg. rss), e-mail check* (pop3), weather*, ect. <br /> <br />*not included with installer, but I can link/send them to you. <br /> <br />On a slow computer is makes a big difference, and on a fast one it leaves all the more resources open. <br /> <br />My only wish is that it would defy the systray icon convention that IM apps always do. I want the sucker in they taskbar. Death to the system tray! }:| <br /> <br />Site: http://miranda-im.org/ <br />Download: http://miranda-im.org/release/download.php <br />ScreenShots: http://miranda-im.org/about/screenshots.php

I just work off of Trillian, which is skinnable, of course. I really like it. Technically, it&acute;s Trillian Pro ;-)

Any GAIM users out there?
