For those with BIG ICQ contact lists.

[Evil Chris]

Who out there have big ICQ contact lists? I have around 600 at any given time.
I'm just wondering if we share the same issues and problems with ICQ due to having so many people on our contact list.

Quite often I have problems adding a new person. I get errors. Then I'll delete 10 or 12 people from my list and try adding again. Most of the time that works. Not always though.

Then... once I completely re-start my ICQ, I see the names of the people I have previously deleted come back again. I know this has to do with the ICQ servers hosting my contact list, but a deletion is a deletion right? I mean, what if I wanted to completely flush my entire ICQ list and start from scratch? Is there a way to do it?

It's tough to communicate with someone who isn't on your list because ICQ filters out URLs and emails (and who knows what else) so the conversation can get frustrating.

Comments?
