NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ; ___ ;

I stopped using wlm along time ago, so im not too affected

sucks for people who use it alot, though.

wow fuck that

Welp, time to fully switch to skype.

no fuck that I'm not reinstalling that bloated piece of shit

no more IMs for me

Go grab Pidgin then.

I used to use that, I use Trillian now.

Which does allow Skype, but still required that I actually had Skype running to use that, lacked editing/deleting messages, and frequently dropped lines.

Nothing can replace Messenger for me.

I prefer the way Messenger keeps the chatlogs more then how Skype does.

Customization wise I love Messenger. You can change the whole skin/layout of Messenger, use different colored text, put in your own emotes, different fonts, see other people's fonts, have animated avatars, your own background in your chat window, able to do handwriting to draw random doodles. ; -;

All Skype has is change the font for yourself.

Come back to skype suguri.

nowat pls microsoft don't do this. ;_;

It's not like MS hasn't already driven MSN Messenger into the fucking ground over the last god knows how many fucking years anyways, good riddance I say.

Even though I don't really do much chatting, I'll miss MSN, cause it was first messenger I ever used /=

I use the facebook chat anyway, but you could always use this.
