Why only ICQ?

[HansXP]

Why do we only have the ability to put our ICQ # in our profile? Does Fusetalk not allow extra strings, like MSNm, AIM, and Yahoo?

Probably because ICQ tends to be the most popular of the IM apps.

I think ICQ was the one that let them use their trademark and such.

Maybe they'll expand on some more features later on...q

When you combine AOL membership and AIM screen names, I don't think so

hmmm...that could be, but I've seen other forums with AIM and MSNm links. Isn't that just free promo for the IM services?

 

[Paulson]

I don't know.

When you use something with a magnitude of these forums, I suppose some companies don't like you using their logos and such to message other users...

Ah, thanks Whiz. I searched for ICQ and nothing came up, so I thought this was a new topic.

True, but AOL email addresses are banned here. This probably filters out quite a few of the would be AOL users here.

 

[HansXP]

lol, that's true.

MSN e-mail addresses are banned her also, to prevent trolling and the like. So it does make it ever so slitghtly difficult... since MSN Messenger needs to use a hotmail addy...

Hope this helps abit more,

Albert.

Wait, MSN.com addresses are banned too? Or do you mean just hotmail?
