James Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 For whatever reason, MSN forced me to upgrade to Skype today - which I fucking hate. To make things worse, it didn't import my contact list over. 8 years worth of RS related contacts and over 750 people are now lost to me because of this, and their troubleshooting is doing diddly squat for me. I liked using MSN as an additional chat program, but I simply don't want to use Skype because it was forced on me and cleared my entire contact list. Does anybody have a suggestion for an alternative IM program I can use? I'm trying Google Talk, which is working fine but I can't live without emotes. Link to comment
Beric Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I hate change. Which is probably why I was still using MSN in 2013. Link to comment

Sijeeral Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Although after closing it and reopening, I think I may see where you went wrong. That screen that opened that said "Get SKYPE@!@@!!!!" Just X out of it lol. Too late for you I guess. Link to comment

James Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Delete Skype and your prior version of Messenger should still be there. Mine was at least. Link to comment
Memphus Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Everything that Microsoft has done lately has been so fucking dumb.I'm still waiting for them to recall Windows 8. Link to comment
