For me, something like ICQ would be a death wish. So don’t bother looking for me there, as you won’t find me. And don’t bother sending me those “looking for you on the ICQ network” messages; I ignore them. If you need to contact me use e-mail. Note that this also applies to MSN Messenger and any other similar service that might be out there. I don’t have one. No kidding.

No, I am not a chat service. I enjoy meeting people in person. I also need to work on my computer uninterrupted so that I can focus on what I am studying. Therefore, I choose not to subscribe to any chat service. I will be pleased to answer most of your questions by email. For legal reasons, I can not answer explicit questions so, please, do not ask.

No, BitWise is a separate service from the others. There are a number of reasons for this, but mostly it is because we don't want to deal with reverse engineering a protocol and then relying on it for our services. This strategy has proven problematic for other chat software, and such problems were what inspired BitWise in the first place. Most importantly, when we make our own protocol, we can add the features that we want to add, without worrying about compatibility with existing software.

You will now click on Import and Browse your hard drive to the location where you downloaded your ICQ skin, click on it and click open.

My ICQ number is 83387869. WARNING. My ICQ number used to be on my webcam page but I got A LOT of ICQs from a lot of random people and eventually tired of having to continually respond to ICQs from people just wanting to chat about nothing. So if you want to just chat, or stalk me, don't bother, I won't respond to your pleas to either get on my list or read your messages. My ICQ number is generally reserved for close friends.

There are three answers to this question. First, BitWise is different because it is not supported by advertising or spyware. When using BitWise, whether the program itself, the website, or the forums, there are no distracting ads. Along with this comes an increased privacy--BitWise doesn't need any information about you to target ads to you. Secondly, BitWise is committed to providing high-quality software. Software quality has declined rapidly in the past few years, which is unacceptable to us.

Remember, SOCKS support in SpoonProxy expires after 30 days and ICQ relies on SOCKS. So first make sure you are using either a non-expired demo, or that you have registered SpoonProxy or ICQ will not work. times out of 10, problems with ICQ are due to an invalid DNS configuration. Verify that DNS is mapped properly by attempting to ping something like www.microsoft.com from one of your client machines. It will time out, but it should resolve to an IP address.

There is (or was) an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel called #asprin that meets occasionally on Dal.Net that discusses topics dealing with the series that Asprin has created. There is no known group that meets via ICQ for the same purpose.

ICQ is a personal communication tool that allows users to meet and interact by the use of interactive tools. ICQ holds the largest multi lingual community on the web and it is free to use. When you sign up for an account you receive a unique ID which users can type in that ICQ field on our registration form.

Login: Your ICQ number, which you've received after the registration for this service (e.g.: "12345678") Encoding: Encoding of the message. Use CP1252 encoding to send and receive non-Latin characters from West European alphabets and CP1251 for East European (Cyrillic) alphabets. Back to top

Click on Message Archive (Note: if using ICQ 2000 you get to the Message Archive by clicking on "My ICQ" then clicking on "Message Archive" and then on "Open Message Archive.") You'll then see the names of the different message formats ICQ has. Click on the (+) beside the word Messages. This will give you a drop-down menu of all the names on your ICQ list. Click on the first name on your list and you'll see the recorded conversation.

No. I have already more than enough to do answering e-mails and posting on message boards. Also, I don't want to be distracted when working on the computer. My time is too scarce to engage in even more activities. Sorry, you have to contact me by e-mail or leave me a message in the guestbook or at the SCN. Anticipating questions is what an FAQ is useful for, and I am actually asked questions like these.

The most likely cause is that you are already logged on to ICQ with the same number on another computer. ICQ does not allow the same number to be logged on from two different locations. You will need to make sure your ICQ number is not already in use before you log on with Trancell.

I almost never use ICQ/AIM, due to people who I don't know who added me to their list "just to chat". I don't really "chat". I don't talk at all unless there's a reason to. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hostile, but I honestly have nothing at all to say most of the time. I use IRC a lot, simply because there are numerous people in a channel ordinarily, so it doesn't matter if I don't say anything at all for a long time, if I don't have anything to say or my hands are hurting.

ICQ is an interactive system for contacting people "live" - you can type directly to them and they can respond. The column on the list shows people's ICQ contact numbers, if they have them. The name ICQ derives from "I Seek You" - more details from their web site.

Click on the ICQ button to bring up the main menu, and choose "Preferences". Then click on the "Connection" tab. Under "Internet Connection Type", select "I'm using a permanent internet connection(LAN)", and select "I am behind a firewall or proxy". After that, click on the "Firewall Settings" button. Select "I am using a SOCKS5 proxy server" and click next. Under "SOCKS5 Host", enter your proxy IP address.

If you're not on my contact list, chances are that I won't receive your message. If you're trying to get on my contact list, I strongly suggest that you e-mail me first so that I know who you are. I don't add people who I don't know of.

Yes...i'm never in online mode...I don't like it when lots of ppl i don't know start talking to me or ppl just
