For those with BIG ICQ contact lists.
Who out there have big ICQ contact lists?
I'm just wondering if we share the same issues and problems with ICQ due to having so many people on our contact list.
Quite often I have problems adding a new person. I get errors. Then I'll delete 10 or 12 people from my list and try adding again. Most of the time that works. Not always though.
Then... once I completely re-start my ICQ, I see the names of the people I have previously deleted come back again. I know this has to do with the ICQ servers hosting my contact list, but a deletion is a deletion right? I mean, what if I wanted to completely flush my entire ICQ list and start from scratch? Is there a way to do it?
It's tough to communicate with someone who isn't on your list because ICQ filters out URLs and emails (and who knows what else) so the conversation can get frustrating.
Comments?
(and no, I'm not switching to Trillian)

I think my list is close to 600 or more and I run into the same thing that I have to perge some names - though they generally stay away. For the most part it works fine but then again I prefer using 2002a

I've had a maxed out ICQ list for years.
I switched to Gaim to run all my IM's, and found if I delete 2 or 3, can re-add 1.

I cant remember the actual error code.. think its 133 or something.. Im maxed out aswell. So if I get that error whenever I try to add someone new. The only way to fix it (for me) is to delete an existing ICQ contact to make room for the new one. Unlike you however, I dont seem to get the deleted ones back.. I just delete them and make room for the new ones.. Took me a while to understand the contact list was "full" and I had to delete existing..
irritating..

I think that 600 is the magic number for ICQ. Once you get up to that many contacts, it starts to play tricks on you.
I use ICQ 2003a. I think it's the most stable of them all.

I think you can only have up to 600 contacts on your list max. Then icq will start deleting some of your contacts that hasn't come online for a period of time i think.

The contacts just do not seem to go away though.
I delete them and a day, week, or maybe even a month later they're back.

Reboot your icq. Delete contacts AND history. Reboot icq again.
Contacts should be gone forever and problem is solved.

Wow, 600 contacts? Crazy! I have about 250 or so, and never had problem adding new contact. I always use the latest version of ICQ.

GOD uses GAIM on both my desktop (Linux/XP dual boot), and a Linux laptop ...
I have TONS of contacts over ICQ/YAHOO/MSN/AIM/GTALK and I have no issues at all ...
I used Trillian for many years, but eventually looked for a replacement due to v3.x repeatedly 'orphaning' contancts, and Crulean seemed not to be in a hurry to fix it ...
Remember: no matter which IM software you use, if you save histories, once in a while they do need to be purged/deleted ...

OMG Crazy lady.
When you send out mass messages, I get "reminded" about your show 5 times or more.
Find another program.

Thanks for your concern. I had a power outage. Tornadoes were touching down all around our city...which never happens. One was two blocks from my house. People were freaking out. It was quite nasty.

you can try more than one ICQ # and use ICQLaunch
which will let you run multiple instances of ICQ at the same time
