Since I put my instant messenger details on my profile I haven't had anyone use it.

Is this because people dont realise that thats what its there for?

No Grinch - its not because no-one wants to talk to me and I smell of poo, because there are certain .orgers that I talk to daily.

Is it because people dont think its polite to IM without permission?

Just wondering really.

Anyone that wants to say hello on IM, please do :)

Think I probably fall into this category of people ... plus I don't use IM as much as I used to since I got hit with an IM-worm that managed to disrupt my laptop so badly that I had to do a complete re-install.

Nobody interesting on my contacts list ... yet :rolleyes:

One of the reasons that I use Pidgin.

Its free and you can be logged on to all the common messenger networks in one place - even IRC !!!

Can even get some nice plug-ins to add encryption to your chat

I would never say something like that... didn't even notice you had all those instant messaging contact... You know you could always do the first contact yourself. I have my IM details on my profile.

I might just have to give that one a try ... I've been using Trillian for a little while which sounds the same (you can sign in to AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ).

Anyone still use ICQ??

I got my ICQ id # so long ago that it only has 7 digits ... but I remember people actually SELLING their ID's that had 6 digits or less (IIRC).

Cheers,
Pete

Because if we got chatting I might have to reveal my true feelings about you, and well if that happens, Jax scares me :P

On the Malamute forum we started a thread where if you want people to stop you from working and talk to you all day then you add your msn addy :) saves going through profiles :)
