Can't comment on that plugin, never used it. Don't even use IRC much; the internet is enough of a timewaster for me already :-(

I'm running the following plugins: CopyIP, GnuPG, History++, PopUp SecureIM, Last seen, Tooltip info, Version info, WhiIsReadingMyStatusMsg.

These all do one thing and they do it fairly well.

I'm also using an older executable to pull the two contact list arrow-icons from, since the one that's distributed with Miranda is ugly as hell. I have no idea why they turned the nice little arrows into ugly plus-and-minuses... yuck.

A little unusual maybe, but I'm running my Miranda with 25% inactive opacity, 100% active opacity. That way I can have the contact list expanded but still read through it as long as the mouse-pointer doesn't put miranda in focus. Very slick if you ask me, and the only use of transparency on the desktop that I feel is meaningful.

I was going to ask if Miranda has an IRC plugin as well because I haven't seen anyone mention it specifically and I didn't see it mentioned on the web site.

Then I decided to not be lazy and found that it does for anyone else that may be wondering.

I've been using Trillian for a while now but I may have to check out Miranda when I get home.

First of all, this seems to be a country-thing. All my friends/contacts are on ICQ. One or two are on the AIM-network too. AIM doesn't seem to have made any great inroads here in Sweden, but then, I can only speak for myself and the people I hang with.

Secondly, those who don't like bloat should be running Miranda.

People who love Trillian but hasn't tried Miranda yet should do so, you might find a new love (unless you're partial for bloat and glitz and non-source availability).

Gaim might be the best client available on linux, but if you're running windows Miranda is supperior. IMHO. YMMV.

Supports the following networks: ICQ, ICQ Corporate, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, Tlen, netsend, IRC, VyChat, Phantom, Blizzard Battle.net (and other games/game networks such as Halflife), etc, etc, and there's also a plugin for doing voice-com.

I like Miranda better. Miranda just gets everything right. Light-weight by default, and plugins for everything else.

I couldn't even find the source-code for trillan. Is it available? If not, Miranda wins _hands_ down since it's GPLed.

Too bad it's Windows only though.

i've been using miranda for a while now.

it allows for protocol plugins so that you can use it with different IM networks. Check the site, people have been making tons. they get pretty whacky too, i know game server plugins exist. maybe a jabber plugin too. it puts it all into one nice clean little client unless you want it ugly and bloated and trillianish.

miranda itself doesn't give you a server to IM everybody on but the way it's designed it should be simple to modify it so that it does. this is the biggest difference between miranda and jabber.

miranda is open source, but the program is buggy (maybe only for me, maybe because i'm using windows client). so hurrah for them.

But Trillian is bloated flashy-ware, while Miranda (nightlies here) is slim and nice.

I'd rather define Miranda IM as the geeks solution for IM. At least on the Windows platform.

I live in Denmark, my list was filled with people from Barcelona, Texas, London, Israel and one from Sweden (not that far away though ;).

Who's up for writing an improved version for my favorite IM - Miranda IM? Use MaxMind's GeoIP database, or DirectI's IP-to-country database! Couple that with what users put in as location, then associate some words and then mix with water ;)
