MSN messenger

I just got MSN messenger and I need some friends/contacts so post it or PM me

Why would you use MSN messenger? I admit, it's somewhat cool, as I used to use it several years ago. But I'm a bigger fan of AIM. Plus my opinion of MSN dropped when they started requiring payment to use MSN Chat. That just pissed me off to no end.

MSN chat was inane and had far too many idiots on it even before they made it paid only, so it was never really worth using. It's now made worse by the fact that all the people intelligent enough to know that it isn't worth paying for, are the ones who were intelligent enough to have a conversation with.

But whatever, they're on the chatrooms not the MSN messenger chat client.

I personally hate AIM. I prefer the simplicity of MSN. AIM is far too cumbersome, comlicated, poorly layed out, and difficult to use efficiently for my tastes.

Having said that, I can't personally understand the problem you have with MSN making its' chatrooms pay-only. It was done to protect the large number of younger users from paedophiles, after research showed that in the majority of paedophile cases, MSN chatrooms were the weapon of choice. I for one support Microsofts' decision.

I use MSN, but I don't want you to add me because I don't know who you are.

screw PMing. If anyone wants to talk to me it's the.funky.monk@gmail.com

But if i don't like you, i'll get Will to bite your knob off.

I just hope this kid doesn't make us uncomfortable by saying we are sexy bastards.

Which is a compliment.

***Wil*** · #7 01-05-2005, 01:05 PM

I wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Well actually, his location is UP YOURS, which is rather distressing. I keep checking to make sure he's not really there.

I've never really liked chat rooms. I can't control who I'm talking to, and I think that's the real danger of it. Of course, that's the way to go if you want to meet new people, but still. It's also chock-a-block with people who speak it 1337, Ebonics and TXT. Fools.

I put UP YOUR because its kinnda funny. I'll change it

EDIT: SEE!!!

MSN and Aim work out quite well for me. Most forumers use MSN, most (all?) of those I know from school use Aim. Anyways, mr_psychic@hotmail.com . Add me if you wish. But if you do, be sure you have a webcam hooked up.

Oddly Insane · #10 01-05-2005, 02:04 PM

sorry no webcam

Silversnow · #12 01-05-2005, 04:26 PM

I have lots of people on my messenger list I never talk to. I don't know why they're still there. But what the hell. sylver3@hotmail.com is mine, if you want it.

Oddly Insane · #13 01-05-2005, 05:29 PM

Yes, it's such a shame that you don't have msn messenger. What a reason to cry.

MSN messenger takes all of 30 to 60 seconds to download, and 30 seconds to install.

But it's still tragic that you haven't got it at the moment.

She is honored? Well, I bet she's glad you let her know about that, because I sure as hell wouldn't have noticed that I was honored if I was her.

I can see why Microsoft would make the chatrooms no longer free, but still... I liked those chatrooms. They were fun. And the fact that you could start rooms that people just browsing the room lists could join was cool. Can't do that with AIM.

And I agree that AIM is poorly laid out, and has certainly gone down hill in the past few years. The only reason I use it is because all the people that I know use it. To make up for the poor AIM client I used Trillian for a while, but there were too many inconveniences with that. Cool program idea though.

You're up to something.

Sometimes I doubt if evolution is real, because surely if it was, stupidity like this couldn't exist.
mawk was trying to point out that you should be the one that is honored, not her.

cut it off..........

Oh, I had wondered who that address belonged to.

You could download Gaim. It connects to all the major instant messenging services, including ones I've never heard of. I imagine it's something like Trillian, except not shoddy.
