Everybody raise his hand that still
a) has an icq account
b) has friends that also have an icq account, but have no jabber account.

If the amount of hands is low; thats the reason why nobody has stepped up to fix the ICQ plugin :)

The parent post was talking about IRC, not ICQ.

and just before anyone starts worrying about the state of icq: I was using icq with kopete's kde4 code back in *2006*, when having a chat window open without crashing was a big thing. ;)

The ICQ-plugin probably receives the most attention at the moment - Roman Jarosz is simply amazing. His work will be one of my main reasons to switch to KDE4 once it's ready for my needs.

By the way, don't judge a protocol's popularity by the popularity in your own country... It varies a lot. From my experience here in southern Germany, nearly everybody uses ICQ, a few lost souls are still on MSN or AIM, and almost nobody uses Yahoo or (alas!) Jabber.

He was talking about IRC, anyway it's recent news that AOL recently started an experiment integrating AIM/ICQ in Jabber (so you can login with your AIM account using the XMPP protocol)

well personally i use IRC with xchat these days

but when i was on windows, i was using icq a lot

i still hope something like licq, but maybe smaller, or "embeddable", can show up ... i want a tiny tiny tray icon without any popups on default
