Gah it now wont let me sign in without updating to their latest version cause of a critical security issue that was addressed... oh no you can't just patch it you have to download the latest lump of s*** bloated with more useless things I can post a stick at... I was quite happy without all the new annoying crap :/

Just felt like ranting...

Sure :)

Well i havent noticed anything different really, but I heard things about that retarded *nudge* thing that bumps your chat window to the top of everything on the other persons comp. If thats still in it there better be a way to f***ing turn it off!

Edit: ahaha thats because I tricked it, I said yes update and it let me sign in then it pops up asking to run the update file DENIED BITCH!

Same. OT: Tried the Remind plugin? It repastes the last X lines of your previous conversation on-screen when someone opens up a window and starts chatting to you again. Good when people take f***ing aaages to reply to you and you cbf checking the history to find out what they are replying to :)

windows messenger doesnt have all that crap
msn is the on with all the nudge and s***
You still have to do all the mandatory update s***e, but i havent seen any differences

parabol: that looks like a nice plugin, but I'm cursed with the nofriends curse. There's only one or two people who actually talk to me and it's not hard to remember what I was talking about from even the previous day :) That or I just ask them wtf they're talking about ehehe.

You can still beat it if you really want to, I just press update, then cancel it and sign in as per usual :D

I'll probably update and disable the lame features when I get sick of doing that.

Trillian 3.0 for the win! no crappy features you never wanted. no bloated clients. just all your favourite im programs in one - how can you go wrong? (or use one of the other open source alternatives too I guess)

Will that work with MSN 3.6 ?? That was the last 1337 version... I dun even use MSN anymore though, but was thinking of using it again, but I dun want any new bloatware client.
