    RIP MSN Messenger

    BBC News - Microsoft ditches Windows Live Messenger for Skype

    Used to be that MSN Messenger or just 'MSN' as most people called it, was used by everybody - pretty much the way that everyone is on facebook now, everyone was on MSN back in early 2000's. To see it's being closed down is sad, but then I've not used it for years.

    I do however use Skype text chat for work and it works just as well.

    The first person I ever chatted with on MSN was 75%Vauxhall fan, the second was someone calling themselves "Andi".

    I wonder whatever happened to them....

    You also spoke to some Australian chap too.

    Without MSN I suspect I would have been single my whole life hehe
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I used to spend hours on MSN talking to many old friends such as Jamie, Storm, Andi, odykas, Mark, Daniel etc...etc...

    Sadly now the only one I still see online is Daniel

    I haven't had any problems with spam on MSN messenger for years.

    Its easy to prevent spam as well since you can set it to only allow messages from people on your contact list.

    I remember I used to have three IM programmes on the go. Yahoo Messenger, ICQ and MSN. Now I don't use any of them! Social networking and mobile chat apps have killed them off.
    You lot still here?!
