Actually the move had way more hidden interests , I think. I'm one of the migrated people and now I painfully realized that to add new people into chatrooms that I had ongoing, is a very complicate and painful process easily prone to failure UNLESS you move to a paid tier. Even the invite link you give around to join a room, is effectively not working.
So you need to add the contact you want in, because searching for registered users not in your contacts is crippled in free mode, but you cannot add to google since they discontinued the syncing ... and once you add to Hotmail it may take up to 24h to sync "Wonderful" experience, that's motivating my group to migrate fully to telegram -----Original Message----- From: Mike Katz via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2025 1:58 AM To: Murray McCullough via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Cc: Mike Katz <bit...@12bitsbest.com> Subject: [cctalk] Re: Skype It's just another case of how long should a company maintain older infrastructure in the face of new technologies and systems. The conversion to Teams was relatively painless so it's not much of a big deal for many. There are also many alternatives to Skype if Teams doesn't work for you. I am not a fan of Microsoft at all but how long can we expect them to pay to keep old servers up and running? Try to find 10 year old DDR2 RAM or a DVD Blou-Ray writer (or reader). Even the automotive industry isn't required to maintain a parts inventory for more than 10 years.
