Microsoft to Kill Messenger on 8th April (New Date)

[Chris]

I merged my msn to skype a few months back and have been using skype ever since. Took a while to get used to at first but I prefer it now.

[Grig]

haha I win.

I'm in China and get to keep it woo.

Although Hong Kong is kinda separate from China so might not include us.

[mrwoooooooo]

only features i'll miss are watching youtube videos together and being able to post images directly in to the conversation

[Smurfed-]

I've linked it but I created a new Skype for it. It didn't even let me choose a name. Is it possible to change it?

[peteyt]

Yeah kind of glad. I still occasionally used MSN until I merged it a month or so ago. But I did get annoyed when having multiple conversations open. Did notice that Yahoo contacts if you have any aren't brought forward with Skype. Luckily I only had 1 or 2 and didn't really talk to them any more

This upsets me... because I use.... >___> MSN and hate Skype.... and with msn you can save SPECIFIC chatlogs to your PC... with skype it DOESNT do that and saves ALL. and then if you clear the message history or want to reformat... you lose it all...

To back up all the chats you have had with Skype on that machine then all you have to do is go to:

C:\Users\*User Name Here*\AppData\Roaming\Skype and copy the folder that is named with your skype account. Then paste it in the Skype folder again if you ever reformat or change computers.

Even better that there is an addon for Skype known as "Messenger Plus for Skype" and this will also let you save chat logs of your Skype chats in your documents.

Update:

I believe it's now being said that you could technically still sign into MSN using third party clients such as Pidgin and what not. But I can see most people will just merge or move over to Skype anyway.

Well there goes Habbox. We are held together by MSN.
