MSN Messenger has been down all day for me. It takes forever logging in and when it does, my online contacts start filling up real slow and no conversations can be started(messages never arrive). Anyone else experiencing this? I feel uncomunicated (

yes I have the same thing. I never had any downtime on AIM, the only thing I noticed is that GAIM would crash after I've been connected for about 16-17 days.. maybe it's just an overflow (uptime # being too much to store)..
I don't even know why people use MSN. I think those who aren't tech savvy should stick to AIM.. I normally am in favor of alternatives but I don't like having to keep MSN open to talk to 2-3 people, keeping AIM open for 15 people, IRC for 15 people, Yahoo, etc.

THIS may be the problem and why there's some difficulties...

Isn't that what you have GAIM for? Whats the hassle in being connected to all the various services when they are all in the same program?
