Thread

the guilty until proven innocent is harsh when it involves people but profiles can be made by people and bots. So forum admins/code need to filter out software made profiles and because it’s get smarter all the time the best way is to suspect every new profile, and based on it’s actions the forum code, the admins and the community can catch the bot profiles.

It is spam, maybe harmless but it is.

@Yorick, Do you realize how this sounds “...his spelling is too good for a bot.”? Who teaches bots to spell? 😛

Bots spelling should be fine, but the grammer is where it normally falls apart

Or should I say “bot grammer be bad, spell good”... I’m not a bot… honest 😛

My spelling is worse than a bot I think, its so bad I have a spell check plugin for my browser 😉

But I use Kopete as my all-in-one super Chat client .oO( oooooo the multi protocol goodness )

I used to use Kopete, but as with most things KDE, it was too bloated, so Pidgin (previosuly GAIM)

I like it because it lets me simultaneously sign into 2 msn accounts, a yahoo and ICQ, it will do more but I only know so many ppl lol, and it’s skinned to emulate a linux shell console 😉

You can sign into multiple accounts with pretty much anything that isn’t MSN Messenger 😛

And why go through the effort of skinning something to look like a console? Which not actually use a messenger built into your console? 😛 (I think finch is the CLI version of pidgin)

Bot or not..

For Mac: Adium
For Windows: Digsby or Pidgin

Best out there.

Adium and Digsby both support Gtalk/AIM/MSN/Yahoo/Facebook/Twitter/etc.

@Yorick: Msn can die in a fire.

@jdfwarrior it probably wont completely though, it’s bound to perform some illegal operation while trying to burn lol

@Dam1an I didn’t create the kopete skin, it was available to download 😉

pidgin also supports facebook and twitter via plugins

Although if you use the Facebook plugin, make sure you get the certificate, otherwise it will keep crashing every few seconds (sometimes just kill off the fb session, sometimes kill off pidgen completely)

sachilk, welcome to the forums. I’ve removed your signature for now just to ensure we’re all on “the up and up”. Feel free to add it back after you’ve got a few more posts under your belt. Looks like you’ve got your answer, so I’m closing up this thread. Thanks to everyone who answered!
