  1. What do you use, and why do you use it?

    For the past several years I have been using an old copy of my dad's Trillian 3.1 Pro. A few days ago I upgraded to the current Trillian Astra 4.0 because of it's new add-on features. Because I am a previous Pro user, I get a 30-day trial of the Astra "Pro" :)

    Trillian Astra is like a mega-IM provider. Here it supports AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, MyspaceIM, Facebook Chat, ICQ, IRC, Skype, Twitter, as well as some other things that were not familiar to me.

    I only use a handful of these things. I find Astra the best client in my interest because of my friends' inability to simply choose one client and stick with it, as a result I have MSN/Y!/AOL. With the new integration of Facebook Chat, it's much simpler to contact people from there (Anyone on facebook understands the horrors of the chat) Plus I am a moderator on an IRC (Although I am getting a winsock error--10061, and am currently working to fix it) and am soon hoping to get a Skype. Integration is a beautiful thing! But through this program, I am able to connect to every single one of my users through Astra to the outside world. :)

    Again I ask, what do you use, and why?

  2. My four posts have what now? One, I have more than four posts, the post counter is bugged. Most of them are in the legality section where I try to help people. Not sure what you are talking about here. I would expect the owner of a site to know how to use the forum statistics function. Other than asking one question in legality, and this single complaint, all I've been doing is trashbytes etc for people that can't. It's a small service, but all I am really qualified to do, and I was trying to contribute.

    Not all areas of the site count towards posts. =/

  3. To be honest, I don't understand the hate at all. I also don't understand the "looks like Mario thing." I especially don't understand the people that hate her because she "replaced" Kris. Personally, I've accepted that she is most likely a redesign of Kris, just updated to fit with the new FRLG/DPP image style and modern trends (characters in Pokemon are less extravagant in recent years). As someone who lives in Japan, her outfit is NOT that outrageous to me, and seems pretty standard for the times. And for those that say her shirt is ugly... she's basically wearing the same shirt as the Boy character.

    I think everyone just needs to get over it. Her overworld sprite especially does not look bad.

    Anyway, here's an interesting image I found somewhere online. I realize there are a LOT of steps involved, but it's interesting to think about.

    It's not too horrible of a change, when you put it in that perspective. Honestly though, the original Kris coloring of soft colors (pinks and such) just feels more feminine. The dark red and blue are very....iffy to me.
