Posts from Which ICQ client did you choose?

Asya was my main choice for a long time. About six months ago, I switched to Qip, and I like it much more now. Although Asya is still installed on my computer (just in case ;) ).

Could you please explain to me, a person with limited knowledge, what QIP is?

www.qip.ru

So let's start with the history:
ICQ ("I Seek You") is an Internet program that tells you which of your acquaintances are currently online and provides you with a way to contact these people.
In reality, there are many programs based on the essence of ICQ, such as miranda, ICQ Rambler, QIP ... and so on, there's simply a sea of programs.
QIP is a free (by the way, there are paid ones too) program that allows online communication. It is one of the most popular Internet messengers. Hundreds of thousands of users use it.
In fact, very many people communicate specifically through QIP (commonly known as "Kvip"), first of all:
1) It's as simple as can be (easy to figure out even for people far removed from this).
2) No ads at all!
3) Absolutely free.
4) And quite stable.
5) Consumes minimum traffic (I used 0,8 mega in a month).

So there are many pluses; I've "hung out" in various ICQs—in my opinion, QIP is the best!

I have both installed. ICQ has ads and glitches, and QIP looks unattractive.

... qip looks bad...

Download skins, there are just TONS of them!!!

What about an alternative?
Miranda IM
JIMM, even though it's for mobile...

I'm a wicked Quipper user)))
I've tried different programs, and the results are: m-agent - constant spam, ICQ-Rambler - glitches and ads make life miserable, Miranda - glitches. Quipper occasionally loses the server, but otherwise, it's just a dream)))

I have ICQ installed, and it glitches sometimes, of course. I used to have Miranda, but it got infected with a virus, so I had to get rid of it.

I also had a mail agent with a virus, and I had to "destroy" my computer. Now I have ICQ installed.

I installed QIP... chatted for a bit, and then uninstalled it... ICQ 5.1 is more convenient, in my opinion.

It stood! It stands! And it will stand!! ASYA))))))))))))))

Generally, I have a rather negative attitude towards this type of messenger... I have both ICQ and QIP installed, but I almost always use ICQ, and even then, I'm usually in invisible mode. I have them just for the sake of appearances and in case someone wants to chat. Otherwise, I don't really care what it is – ICQ, QIP, or something else – the main thing is that it's fast, simple, and without unnecessary features.

Of the ones mentioned above, I use QIP. I usually use RnQ, though. :smile02:
