Windows Live Messenger says bye bye!

[Pheesh]

As far as I was aware msn had become the messenger app that's on my windows 8, I didn't even know it still existed as msn.

Memorieeeeees.

so am I the only person who still uses MSN on a daily basis

I mean it's just to talk to Huxley and no one else BUT STILL

I still use it! Via Skype.

I never liked it, personally. I prefer (and still use to this day) Yahoo! Messenger, AIM and IRC. Skype's okay, but I'm not used to using it.

I moved away from MSN when they went WLM. That is when I realized most of my contacts were people I seldom talked to and that crappy bloated WLM was unnecessary. Y!M has nudges, smilies, can share videos and pictures and is good enough for me. Skype is too bloated for me. My kids use Pesterchum so I use that too.

Last year someone hacked into my old MSN login and put an x rated avatar and started asking my friends for credit card numbers to do livecam chats O.o That is when I deleted the account.

But, Julian... smurf yo' couch!

Okay, okay. That was good.

On the one hand I'll be sad to see it go but on the otherhand thank god theyre getting rid of one of the major chat clients so I dont have to keep updating it every 3 months when I want to talk to one particular person but I dont want to have them on my facebook and they dont have skype/Y!M.

I havent really used it since highschool. It had the best smilies and the best 8ball Pool (I use to make new accounts to play since the game only lets you play for 2 weeks). At least I'll always have my logs...somewhere.
