No. You could change the Pidgin source code to behave identically to official ICQ clients and eliminate most of the differences with not too much trouble, if you knew what you were doing. But I don't think it's worth it. I think it's unlikely they'll ban people's ICQ accounts for using 3rd party clients. I think that would hurt their business more than help it (it would piss off a significant percentage of their user base, and once you've lost your contact list what would stop you from switching to a different IM network?). If they were going to try to stop people from using 3rd party clients I think it's more likely they would just prevent you from logging in. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
