Windows Live Messenger says bye bye!

[Aulayna]

The next chapter for the Windows Live Messenger network

The article is old but it looks like WLM is being disabled at the end of April.

I'm sure for many of us during the days of AIM/MSN/Y!M/ICQ wars over which IM client was better we may have used it's predecessor MSN Messenger.

I admittedly haven't used WLM in a while but I have found memories of talking to Pike and other forum goers to the wee hours of the morning as well as drawing random doodles in the whiteboard and sending silly video game voice clips to each other.

Discuss you old IM with forum-goer memories here!

I use it daily, and Skype can smurf off, it's a bag of ass. I've used this messenger and the same account since 2001ish. I'm the Captain of the Titanic and I will go down with the ship.

[Pike]

aMSN, which is an open source clone of MSN, is going to continue to use the MSN servers until they physically switch 'em off (which I hear isn't until next year sometime.)

MILF and I are proud aMSN master race :}

P.S. Aul I have some screenshots somewhere of you and I messing around in MSN xD

[Denmark]

I loved MSN back in the day. I used it way more than the forums or chat up to 2009. Giant group chats were crazy. I also had a ton of custom emoticons which were the best things ever.

For now, when I IM (which isn't that common), I use Skype. It's okay, I guess, but I don't use it that often and don't talk to very many people on it. There's also Facebook chat but, meh. I prefer IRC these days (though I'm on it less than I used to be).

[Rantz]

RIP MSN. I never much liked you, but I have some good memories. Crying tears of blood in my agony.

I had so many dear sweet memories on MSN messenger voice or text chatting with EoFFers. One time Freya flashed me her boobs. That was also good. The best is the cool face smiley. The only thing on aim that's good is the

Skype has no good smilies. They're all awful.

My favorite part about MSN is custom smileys so MILF and I can have deep and enlightening conversations like this:

I am sad it is going even though I only use it now to speak to about two people. merging accounts in skype didn't go as I expected and I now have to sign in with my microsoft account (which I was hoping to retire).

I've been using MSN as long as I have used the internet so I am sad to see it go (I can still login tho so idk)

[Pike]

I think you'll still be able to log in for a little while before they shut down the servers. (hopefully it's a long while before they reach that point)

[Jinx]

I will miss Winks. Especially that little stick figure guy who sticks his tongue out at you and goes "LALALALALALALA." He is my favourite.

[Agent Proto]

I didn't like WLM or MSN messenger. I hated it, but I used it sometimes when I want to talk to certain people who didn't have AIM or Y!M. I don't think I'm going to miss it very much, so good riddance?

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Meh, I have been using my MSN account on Skype for a while now.

[Calliope]

MSN has a messenger?

[krissy]

i only used it for minesweeper flags

[KH-Cloudy]

Didn't use it too much, but when I did use it I'd abuse the nudge command. I'm more of a AOL guy myself having growing up with it and all the free trial disks they'd send in the mail.
