AVOID MSN 2011
AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE
IT'S ****
IT'S LIKE IF HITLER CAME BACK IN IM PROGRAM FORM
IT SPREADS NAMES ALL ACROSS THE THING
AND IT DISPLAYS YOUR HOTMAIL NAME IN CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE
WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW UP ON THEIR END
BUT IT'S REALLY DISCONCERTING WHEN YOU HAVE A ROGUE'S GALLERY OF PEOPLE ON YOUR LIST
AND YOU SEE YOUR NAME THERE MID CONVERSATION
AND YOU ASK YOURSELF "**** DID I JUST GIVE MY EASILY SEARCHABLE NAME TO FREAKS ON THE NET?"
WHICH MIGHT BE OKAY FOR JOHN AND JANE SMITH
BUT NOT FOR ME
so yeah it's pretty bad avoid that ****
why do Microsoft gotta break a working thing
-
"Do not give your name on the internet."
Yet, your real name shows. Awesome.
I'd have two solutions for this. Either I won't take it, like you suggest, or I will change my "real name".
This is stupid. It's juts like when Blizzard intended to make your friend list show your real name (or something very similar). What's with all the stupid, suddenly? Did the fifth Horseman come back?
-
Good thing I use Pidgin.
-
When you send links that are images, it opens them similarly to photosharing
also the emoticons look terrible
-
It's like Face Detect. Technology is appropriating our identities :-/.
-
why do Microsoft gotta break a working thing
What're you talking about? MSN isn't a working thing. It runs on Internet Explorer, so it was beyond repair the moment it was created. I spent the past the past six days off of it, only to find out that the reason I couldn't sign on was because of a setting in Internet Explorer.
-
WHY DONT YOU JUST USE ****ing TRILLIAN JESUS BALLS AND TITS
-
Because my appearance on AIM is a rare treat for the 10 people I have on there.
-
JESUS BALLS AND TITS
I like the reaction. And yes, MSN really is a piece of shiт.
-
It is kind of awkward yes.
-
I heard it's like facebook + msn. Kinda.
Also, I can't send images to people with the new version. Nor can I use the drawing thingy of msn which I totally dig late at nights.
-
AND YOU SEE YOUR NAME THERE MID CONVERSATION
You called...? :D
Yes, Prpl. Apparently they're following in Aim's footsteps or something like that. I have a friend who was working on that project <<
-
You called...? :D
Thought same thing. Get out of my head.
-
The fan art has infected your fragile mind. You must come back to the light.
-
Thought same thing. Get out of my head.
I didn't think the same thing. Get out of my thread.
-
I didn't think of anything. Just got out of my bed.

"Razor you dumb piece of **** what are you talking about"

THIS
THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT
-
Mid, what the hell are you doing slipping in and out of heads?
Because I totally thought the same thing when Razor did that.
-
Well, I certainly will stay with my current Windows Live version, yeah.
-
Okay we're all hilarious I get that
Messenger has lost widely-used features like one-way webcam chats, the ability to hide that you have a webcam installed (especially popular among teenagers and children, who might want to use their camera but don't want to advertise that they have one), and the ability to have nicknames. Microsoft claims that the webcam features were ditched as part of the development of HD video calling. I don't doubt that HD video calling works, but I don't have the hardware to use it; nor does anyone on my contact list (though Microsoft's HD webcam does look appealing). As such, it seems a bitter pill to swallow. The distaste is exacerbated by the fact that the new video calling appears to place considerably greater demands on my processor than the old webcam feature, enough to cause noticeable slow-downs.
The loss of nicknames is a result of the social integration. Facebook and LinkedIn, in particular, use real names; the abandonment of nicknames and use of real names within Messenger is a reflection of this. It's a move that has been unpopular with many long-time Messenger users; the ability to create "screen names" is a long-standing feature of instant messaging, and its removal, especially for those not interested in social networking features, is felt to be something of a privacy violation.
THAT LAST THING SHOULD BOTHER YOU. ALL OF YOU.
-
I'm sorry I didn't read it, I was too busy googling your name and finding your address. By the way I'm in your closet.
-
It's creepy how much you sound like me.
-
Jokes on you, I don't have a closet!
-
Really? I thought you just got out of it recently.
*laughs* *standing ovation*
Thank you, thank you!
-
I lol'd, but mostly because of what Razor said to me earlier this page.
-
It's creepy how much you sound like me.
-
Okay, I'm properly scared. Oh wait, I've never used my real name or even uploaded a photograph of myself.
I'm still scared.
-
Mid, what the hell are you doing slipping in and out of heads?
Because I totally thought the same thing when Razor did that.
I'm just that damn good ;3
Woah man, funny thing I just told Harvey day before yesterday that I stopped going ONLINE via Msn because every time I do, some weirdo who is NOT on my buddylist wants to have sex with me via webcam. This is just gonna make things like that a nightmare. So sad...
-
...or avoid IM systems all together...
-
So wait, ya'll use your real names to sign up on things on the internet?
There's not ONE thing in the internet that has my name to it's fullest in the internet. I thought it was common thinking.
Also, Felix is right. IM is overrated this day in age.
-
:O!!!!!
-
I use the Steam IM, if I want to IM at all.
-
My registered name is more or less:
Purple
Mage
No one checks it either way so why be any more honest than that?
-
A-ha! I'm not the only person who has broken quotes now! What has Mid done?!

Ok.

Great, now we have a mixture of [] and <> tags. Thanks a lot, Mid.

You're welcome. ^_^

Well, ****.
If only there was some sort of FUNCTION that can BLOCK people from talking to you.
I don't know, like maybe some sort of BLOCK FUNCTION or something like that.
-
This double Razor thing has killed my brain.
-
This double Razor thing has killed my brain.
Very yes.
-
(Slaps Razor AGAIN)
I DID block them however there were OTHERS who started invading my IMs D:
-
Just use trillian, fucksakes you guys.
-
That's what I've been trying to yell you
-
Why are you guys (gemini, razor) sharing the same looking prof?
-
Probably a time paradox.
-
Eff it, I Wanna Be The Lucas.
-
Cuz they're being silly and trying to mindfuck us atm. >:(
-
It'll be over by day's end one way or the other.
-
Id like it to be stated for the record that this was in no way planned.
I changed it because Midnight was having such an easy time telling the two of us apart. Ill change it from Razor, but Im thinking of something more spicy then gemini.
-
Gemini, with a capital G?
-
Nah....I copped out and just used my ACTUAL name. Its much spicier then it sounds though
-
What's with the dot? <<...
-
it wont let me have Ben. I even looked for the old member and edit his name...but i seem to have found a bug
-
To the best of my knowledge, display names aren't the real name you sign up with. Even if you edit Ben's display name, he'll have dibs on the actual real name Ben. That could possibly be why you cannot edit yours to say Ben as well.
-
Yeah, well screw that guy. Im Ben.
-
Seemed pretty obvious to me. Maybe if you delete it off the database.
-
I wont delete it...that would be....wrong.
I will however change the other Ben's name to something moot. Obiously this is not an active user
-
Yes, oh so wrong.
-
Turns out the user had Zero posts since 2003.
Hopefully the old Ben does not decide to come back. And if he does, I hope he adds some "N"s to his name by mistake
-
I can imagine the horrors. Ben, the phantom user.
-
What if he likes to update stuff to the complete resources? Or what if he uses his account to access his uploaded sprites in the charas generator?
-
His account hasn't been used since it was registered in '03
I think Im safe. If somebody matching the IP comes around saying "WTF happened to my account" then Ill make him a new one. Heck Ill even make an "SORRY FOR STEALING UR NAME DOOD" user rank
-
It's near imp- no, it's impossible. Not happening. He won't come back. in fact he might have already under another name and left again.
-
Dude, ben was my old account you complete bastard. >:(
-
dun dun DUN
-
I call to the court's attention the rule about dual accounts
-
I call to the courts attention a deletion request and denial for said account. (would have messed with your precious post counts)
-
That rule is moot.
Cough.
Also you guys are messing with my sig. It's not properly formatted anymore
-
You have html tags now instead of brackets. Probably the problem.
-
Now? I've always had them. Besides it's the breaks being twisted.
-
Yeah, I don't know. Stuff's been goin' down around here. I wouldn't expect it to automatically fix itself so you're better off doing it yourself.
-
What Sai said, only with a bit more contempt for your sig.
-
Yeah, add some of that in there for me too.
-
Actually, I like it WAY more this way. No giant stack to scroll past.
Let the good bugs roll!
