Which ICQ client did you choose?

I also tried using Mirandy. After Quip, it's not the same at all, and the constantly readable statuses are somehow annoying. Besides, censorship is applied to half of the words. You write, for example, "Study," and it gives you "st*censored*dy." It's a hassle to read that.

This can all be turned off in the settings ;) everything can be turned off and everything can be turned on.
And I, on the contrary, can't stand Quip after Mirandy) there's nothing I need, you can't look at anything, and it's all so ugly :) but that's abstract... but the fact that you can't customize anything for yourself is just awful.
