Today ICQ blocked alternative clients, like Pidgin, Adium and Kopete for KDE3 (Kopete KDE4 still works). Some users experienced problems in Miranda too. But i tried the newest Miranda version in Wine, and it worked.
ICQ tells the Client that it’s Version is too old. The message was: “The Client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im”. Thats why the Users did a DDOS Attack to Pidgin.im
In german: “Die Client-Version die Sie nutzen, ist zu alt. Bitte updaten sie unter http://pidgin.im/.”
Here are some screenies:
Adium X
Kopete KDE 3
Pidgin 2.4.1 Ubuntu Linux
Pidgin 2.4.2 Windows XP
Fixes:
Pidgin Windows: Mirror 1 Mirror 2
Pidgin Linux (ubuntu): Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Alternative Version
Kopete KDE3: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165502#c26
Adium: http://alexmak.net/downloads/Adium_1.1.2.dmg
Moar fixes: http://www2.hs-esslingen.de/~hoadit00/pidgin/
So ICQ tried Users to convert to ICQ6, but free software works fast… Hack the planet
Currently you have to recompile libpurple for adium. If you want support for that, try the #adium chanel on irc.freenode.net
