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.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

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....Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Became littered with spam,so was not particularly enjoyable in the end. And that was 6 years ago. Hate to think what it's like now...

Its easy to prevent spam as well since you can set it to only allow messages from people on your contact list....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

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?!
