Default ICQ has just gone downhill....

It used to be this awesome little instant messaging tool which was fairly light, didn't use up much resources, and worked like a charm.

Now it's heavy, sluggish, and seems to give people a lot of headaches.

I just downgraded from the latest ICQ6 back to 2001b and it's a heck of a lot better.

What version are you using?

Chris I agree with you that ICQ has just become shite with all the extra gadgets it comes with now.

Yeah I have never had any real issues with ICQ ever, maybe 1 re-install. I tried light and it was a lil glitchy so I went back to the big one. I disable all the crap add ons.

The add-ons are for shit and they make things sluggish. But we can't do without ICQ. I talk to clients thru ICQ.

i'm running 2003b.
i prefer AOL, MSN and Skype over icq, but everyone seems to still use it, so i'm forced to deal with it.
