Do people still use msn?.
 
It just popped into my head there. I use to use it all the time to chat to friends all the time.

Is it still a thing people use.. OR did it die a slow painful death like bebo? :laugh:

Ninastar 21-07-2014 08:14 PM

i dont think it exists now, im sure i heard it got deleted or whatever

billy123 21-07-2014 08:14 PM

I dont think it exists anymore it became Skype.

Smithy 21-07-2014 08:14 PM

Yeah pretty sure it got closed down

divergent 21-07-2014 08:14 PM

oh god no, i did use it like 3 years ago to talk to some online friends but i haven't seriously used it since like 2009

andybigbro 21-07-2014 08:14 PM

Ahh really! Haha god msn times those were the days :laugh:

Firewire 21-07-2014 08:15 PM

Nah, it closed down in favour of Skype

Shaun 21-07-2014 08:15 PM

it got closed, but there's still a way to use it if you tinker around with some uninstalling thing. I have it, anyway.

James 21-07-2014 08:15 PM

It's part of Skype now. If you had an MSN / Live account you can login to Skype with it, I think.

Jessica. 21-07-2014 08:16 PM

MSN was replaced with Skype, if you have an MSN account you can now log into Skype with it and your contacts should be there.

Bluerang1 21-07-2014 08:16 PM

Ugh I was going to make a thread about this (N)

Josy 21-07-2014 08:16 PM

I held off as long as I could with it then one day I tried to log in and it told me I had to get Skype.

Still my msn/windows live messenger name though.

Doogle 21-07-2014 08:17 PM

I use a program called Trillian to connect to Skype. The official Skype client uses too much memory.

Although the company behind Trillian said the other day they might have to remove Skype from it.

Shaun 21-07-2014 08:21 PM

I would use Skype but the lack of "plus" services put me off... the inability to use custom screen names, send sounds, the silly wink things (not that important but amusing from time to time) and custom emoticons :(

Redway 21-07-2014 08:22 PM

It's been merged with Skype now, I think.

Plus works on Skype?

Shaun 21-07-2014 08:37 PM

ARE THERE CUSTOM EMOTICONS AND SOUNDS THOUGH :fist: (if so I am flocking to that ****)

Gstar 21-07-2014 08:38 PM

Not sure about custom emoticons, sounds (+custom sounds) definitely work though :laugh:

Jamesy 21-07-2014 09:32 PM

I loved MSN. It worked so much better than Skype tbh. Although sadly everyone moved over to that and Facebook messages.

Natalie. 22-07-2014 06:05 AM

Marc 22-07-2014 07:37 AM
