Shame actually. I got on the net in 1996 and ICQ and IRC were my main means of communication. I loved getting the oh-ow sounds when logging in, having people reach out to me and exchanging messages.
I used ICQ, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger...I still remember my ICQ

I'm pretty bummed YIM shut down, that was a decent messenger. In the
end I used some multi-messenger program, I forgot which, but then
people started moving away and using FB and snapchat and stuff.

I don't have a snap, or a tictok...well, I do because I had to post something for a contest, but other than that I never use them.
There was a golden age where GAIM (and it's later incarnation, Pidgin) were a part of work and play. I had a security chat on SILC, some friends on Yahoo, work used AIM (with a proxy so we could connect when the net was down), I had a Jabber server running, and other friends elsewhere. Skype even worked, if only for chat. I'd even had it plugged into Synchro.net's IRC network.
i think someone just posted it on the internet. he has paid people for it in the past, or so he says so he thinks he owns it. he said he paid clawson money for it and he got an asm dump. pcmike looked at the paperwork and the signatures were all computer generated. he would talk about it on irc and i'd go back in the logs and catch him lying so who knows what the truth is.
"Yes, it's legit, he "bought" the rights from Jeff Reeder, former employee of Telegrafix. Although I have my doubts about who actually had the rights to ProBoard after Pat died."
I mean, he looks like he lives in a trailer park, so it can't be much...

seem to work well all the time with all the different chat protocols.
I knew a couple people who used Pidgin & similar, and sometimes it
seemed their chat app would report me online when I wasn't or
vice-versa. Or sometimes I'd try to send them a file from my chat
client and they couldn't receive it, etc..

It only just showed up here so either something got something stuck and finally send it out, or someone dumped a lot of dupes that were so old I didn't have them any more so no idea.
There is no hard rule for defining what is necro and what is not. I think something is necro when it happens long after interest on the thread has waned.

What I think is funny/odd is, if someone starts a new thread about the same topic, that's fine. But some people seem to get annoyed when someone responds to another thread about the same topic if it's a somewhat old thread. I guess we shouldn't assume the original poster is still interested (but maybe they are). But if people can start new threads, I don't see why it should be such a big deal to respond to other threads regarding the same topic.
