Jeremy Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I stick with my MSN & YIM Pointless having one msger for all<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you ok? Some people would say anyone's crazy to run each seperate messenger for each protocol they use. I certainly wouldn't want to use MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, IRC all seperately. I'd rather combine them easily and save my PC the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather combine them easily and save my PC the mess.Yes But i hardly use YIM as much as i use to i only use it for when msn is down or summat like that and always use Msn so i dont really see the need in using a IM that uses all in one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunil Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 sup guys, just thought i would add my voice to this post.I have been using gaim for a while now, It is an excellent multi-messaging program. However what i think it lacks would be full support for the various protocols that it uses. For example. MSN uses the personal message function now, i find this to be somethign great and would like to see it implemented in future versions. GAIM vs Trillian and Miranda GAIM feels soo much more faster and responsive than trillian on my pc, it takes less ram. VS miranda it feels much more like a full featured app (miranda by no means is incomplete i just think it needs a bit more work.) Its more stable than miranda and has a lot of the features that miranda uses plugins for readily available.However the program it self lacks some good plugins. I can only say taht its a great replacement for msn, yahoo messenger.Sunil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I'll stick to my old 2.* version of Trillian.The newer 3 series really bugs me out with that mandatory flash install..(not mandatory really but that nag really p***es me off, I just hate when they are pushing stuff in like that..)Also with a different loader I can run it self contained, just copy up that folder and a shortcut and I have all my settings there and just fire up....from a USB memory or whatever.

SiMoNsAyS Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 been running gaim for the last 2 month and i must say i'm really satisfied.my 3 accounts running at the same time with min memory used (10mb). i don't mind winks, custom smileys or other bloat, for default functionalities plus some advanced features is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Use trillian 3.1 pro. Its kinda slow to startup but it is zippy when its running. Kind of bloaty though especially whren a lot of plugins are loaded up. But I can load into AIM, ICQ, MSN, YAHOO, RENDEZVOUS, JABBER and more all at once.

DigeratiPrime Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 btw Gaim can also be installed silently.http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/index.php#wingtkUnattended InstallationsAs of 0.73, unattended installations are possible. Simply do the following:gaim-1.3.1.exe /L=1033 /S /D=C:\GaimMake sure to leave the /D flag for last. The /L flag sets the language (Windows LCID) used by the uninstaller, as well as Gaim itself. You may omit both the /L and /D flags and use the defaults which are 1033 (English) and C:\Program Files\Gaim respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
