Is ICQ Plus gone?

Thursday, April 22, 2004 by DavidK | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I noticed their URL redirects to the ICQ homepage. Nowhere on ICQ's website did they say anything about skinning (that I could find anyway).

I assume this means ICQ doesn't want to support skinning?

Someone...somewhere...on some other thread asked something about the same and Koasati gave them a different link for ICQ Plus, but I can''t remember who, where or when the link happened.

Essencay notices that the above is pretty much useless info other than a link still exists for ICQ Plus

Wonder if the updated ICQ 4 that is due out will break ICQ plus. Not that it matters much to me, I use trillian to connect to ICQ now.

I''ve got a few links for ICQ Plus, I was just commenting that their website is not only GONE but it redirects to ICQ''s...

just wondered if ICQ killed the skinning engine since there is no Plus version for ICQ4. It strikes me as a real dumb move for ICQ.  Maybe they bought plus and are planning a new skinned version... freeform maybe? we can always hope...

There is a skinnable version of ICQ now, but it''s not the same, I was so unimpressed, I had it uninstalled within the hour. And you can''t get rid of the ads the way you can with ICQ Plus....
