Currently I am using Skype. But holy shit, it sucks so bad. It's a mix of bad programing, bad ideas, and user harassment.

Which one should I use?

[Duke of Hazzard]

I use Skype because that's what my friends use.

Recently I was forced to use mIRC in 2015(!) to contact the iortcw guys for troubleshooting.

[Hendricks266]

In theory, XMPP is pretty badass when you use it with Pidgin.

Nexgen Acidmax.

I need to get this working again. Anyone have a ten year old version of mIRC floating around?

[Lunick]

I want Fox to chat me up.

Fucking Yatta keeps annoying the shit out of me on Skype...
Because I use. Windows 8.1 it comes as one of them apps and it uses my Live account when I'm logged onto Windows.

No one I know uses that Skype shit, we all use Facebook Messenger, Steam, Vent or TeamSpeak 3.
And iirc is dead as shit, only lame fags like Hendricks use that.

I can't wait to dirty talk Cortana in Windows 10.

[Fox]

I couldn't login on Skype anymore because bananas. I realized you can chat with people from Skype with outlook.com so I uninstalled it. Jesus, how the fuck does Microsoft makes money from this program? It must be a fucking nightmare for regular PC users.

If Microsoft was a construction company...

They'd be secure against intruders?

Shut up Commando. I offered you MSN but you refused. Now you must endure.

Only a fucking retard uses Windows 8 over Windows 7. Inb4 "OH BUT IT'S FASTER." Yes, it is. You know what else is faster? A solid state drive you cheap fuck. Also Windows 7 can be cracked more reliable than even XP.

I repair systems all day err'yday and I hate everything about 8 except it's built in restore image feature, which is tits, except for that fact that it makes me wrestle with Norton/McAffee which don't like to uninstall fully. That means I gotta wrestle with "removal tools" for antivirus software (LOL just like the malware you faggots are supposed to block right?!) and then force Windows Defender to start running.

That doesn't make up for a poorly designed interface.

For fuck sakes Yatta.


Why do I have to see that sexy face in the top left taking up so much of the screen! I didn't know this about myself, but I seem to have developed an attraction toward males after seeing your beautiful photo!

Just because you need me to buy your SSD to keep you fat ass feed.

I got my Windows 8 key for $20 NZD when Microshit had some special deal going on that let the system be abused.
So I don't need to waste my time cracking that shit.

I am not stupid enough to install that Norton/McAffee shit on my PC.
Windows Defender, Malwarebytes and shit are good enough to protect my PC, I can't even remember the last time I got a virus.
EDIT: Wait I do remember now, it was when I was on Windows XP and I got it straight after a reformat after I went online to download updates.

I slapped down $5 for five licenses of StartIsBack. I've used one, and given away two. Worth every penny.

Indeed, StartIsBack is great. I still gotta buy it, I'm stuck with the trial version for now

You would hit shit on a stick.

Yeah because I'm making money getting your sheepfucking ass the same American SSD for 1/3 the price of one in NZ.

I don't install it, HPenis/Dell/whoever has it built into the restore image.

Tickless? No thanks.

[Robman]

Didn't know Yatta was still alive ...

[Evilman]

I'm still using Windows Live Messenger with some friends, we always used it, and we will always use it to do text-talk with a group of people. There's nothing more simple and clear than that, it's a shame they closed it, but it's still possible to use it with some tools.

Facebook, Steam and all are cool for quick conversations, but if you want to talk for a long time with many users, it's just complete crap (and there's no conversations log also). Never really tried other softs to be honest, but as long as Messenger will be up, no reason for me to change. If you want to use a microphone however, Mumble is the best way to go, screw Skype.

[The Commander]

You can do group talking chat and voice with Steam and there is also a log so I don't know what you are on about there.

Mumble is crap and I'd stick with Vent or TeamSpeak.

[Evilman]

The group talking in steam is quickly a mess, i mean, with more than 5 people talking, if you have to scroll up for a specific message or anything, the window is overwhelmed with text everywhere, i really don't think it's ergonomic for that. About the log, there's no permanent log on steam (or am I wrong ?) stored somewhere in your computer / cloud, that's what i was talking about. About the voice feature, the quality was pretty ugly when i tried it, maybe it has something to do with parameters, dunno, but i didn't had great results with it.

What's wrong with mumble otherwise ? Teamspeak is cool too, but Mumble is pretty easy to set up, has a great audio encoder that doesn't eat all your bandwidth like Skype do, and has a simple design. Teamspeak allows you to do more things but Mumble is great if you just want clear audio / simple design and low bandwidth requirements.

[The Commander]

If you want low bandwidth then you are best to use vent.

I'll take note of that. I didn't like mIRC.
