I hate the fact that ICQ was bought by AOL.

Before, "pros" or experience peopel on the net used to use ICQ only. Then AOL butcherd it up a bit, added a lot of useless crap to it, took away the reminder feature and made it use more memory.

I think they delibrately sabotaged it so people would flock to AOL IM, which bears their company name.

AOL sucks.
