Post by **Freakaloin** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 4:42 pm

i hear its not as gay as ase and has q4 support...worth the download? story?...

You could do a lot worse than kQuery if you're after a non-gayass server browser.

The interface is a bit shit the first time you use it, but once you figure out where they hid everything it's better than ASE.

BTW xfire is shit because it doesn't interact with any other chat clients. If there was a plugin for xfire on Miranda, Trillian or GAIM, I'd be a lot less hostile towards the idea.

There is a gaim plugin, you just have to not be a faggot to find it..

Its a shame you babies are so stuck on Aim and Yahoo.. just ditch that shit.. Tell your ho-bag skanks to just call you instead of sending a bunch of winks.. at least then while your jerking off, you can hear their voice

Point taken on the GAIM plugin plus sodomy.

As for 'stuck on AIM and Yahoo', you miss the point. Having to load multiple chat clients to cater for everyone you know is fucking stupid. xfire is a nice idea but the team dont support open integration, which makes them and by-proxy you the faggots.

Can you list some of the features it has others dont?

My issues with it are that it's closed source, small userbase, doesn't have people on it that I need to talk to.

Being geared towards gaming is good... for gaming. If there's a particular chat *network* that everyone should look to use, it's Jabber. Open source network, wide userbase, and a program like xfire could, if the Devs wanted, just use the jabber network for chat and open up their program to a mass of new users.

If you can't make good points without resorting to mocking, I don't know on what level you're trying to succeed in this debate.

Open source is particularly advantageous in a chat protocol because it allows for support in a wide range of clients. This is important because *stay with me* most people choose a client which lets them communicate with the people they know.

Anyways, I has the basics, Text and voice chat.. and a built in downloading util for patches, videos, ect..

Voice chat is cool and I'm missing it in Miranda right now. They only added that with one of the most recent versions of xfire tho.

GAIM, Miranda, Trillian. The 3 interoperable clients out there. None of them have spyware. Define the ones with spyware rather than saying something gratuitously false.

Anyways last chance. I've conceded points where appropriate and made a reasonable argument. If you feel you have to continue flinging shit and destroying your own argument with it then end of conversation.

I didn't know about kquery until after I pimped HLSW here. It's better than HLSW, in a lot of respects.

Good to see the server browser field getting more competition.

If the source is closed, how would you know?

Also, jabber supports SSL so you can tunnel out port 443, which all orgs have open, connect to a server and port re-direct to the world. To any org sniffers, it looks like a normal https transaction and your login and conversation is unlikely to be sniffed some salacious tard

Lastly, kquery is damn good.

Those 3 dont, correct.. Aim does, Yahoo is prone to virii, msn, well its clean..

Sorry, i do use GAIM, i have nothing against it, im just tired of retards bashing xfire for zero reason.. its a QUALITY msg app, that functions INSIDE of games so you dont have to constantly minimize to talk to people..

This, is a gaming forum, its a gaming msg app..

Simple, EVERY anti virii app, and EVERY spyware app find NOTHING related to Xfire..
