I would use the free proggies. ICQ is great but not worth paying for

I hate icq its the worst proggie ever. many spam tossing advertising idiots and script kiddies who have nothing better to do than screw over your lame icq proggie which has more security holes than i can begin to count. and by the way if you want to yell at me get ahold of me at my UIN 120314545. :p

I tried 4.7, this upgrade frickin sucks! Nothing new thats good, stick with 4.3, dont waste the time to download it. It doesnt even support that registry hack to have more than 150 buddies.

There is NO way they would try and charge for that. That's advertising heaven. Plus, the competition is heating up with microsoft. They wouldnt dare risk it!
