    Skype.

    Yes, I hate skype and hotmail merging, not only because I got no webcams, cannot make phone calls over internet (I blocked that one, if I got called back in ye olde day I dc'ed) and skype as a program lagged down my pc. (Some tech savvy uncle never figured out the problem, lets just say he should know a thing about two about those stuff, and no cba'ing to actually fix it if possible, I dislike being spammed in Skype by my family. Facebook all over again)

    But now with hotmail becoming skype basically I forgot my already forgotten password even harder, which represents a problem, got the a rather easy qeustion for myself but it fails to get it correctly, I cannot send emails to get it back via other ways, and the whole asking for details to check if im actually the owner strikes both as odd and bad for me, always learned: never give details via webforms, phone calls etc etc if possible. (including old passwords I used, the hell should I know? I don't keep a bloody log of old and used passwords) So anyone knows a way to solve this problem otherwise?


    (Yes this was a hidden rage vent too)

    I had no idea that anyone hated Skype or used Hotmail. Thanks, I guess.

    I am surprised that anyone still used Hotmail Massager, must be a hippie.

    I used messenger until they made it unavailable. I'm no hippie or hipster but it did everything I needed to do. RIP Messenger

    I didn't use messenger for messages, merely because it was convenient to tell me when I had email without having to go to the hotmail site, think the last time I sent a message on it was some time in 2009!

    Maybe he was in Florida at the time, and he was just..."hacked"...

    I switched to gmail a longg time ago, I don't know anyone who still uses it.

    you can still log in to your hotmail account on skype with the same address and password.. theres an option to log in that way.

    I have used the same hotmail account for... about 17 years.

    It's not broke so why change it?

    Not used messenger in years though. I wasn't really aware about the whole skype / messenger thing, but they have changed the look of my email page recently.

    Are you a mind reader? If so, get out of my head!

    That desktop notification feature was the only thing I used the messenger for... I really liked that my random email had a different notification than my important stuff.

    I thought Hotmail was dissolved and turned into Outlook.com?
    They can dynamite Devil Reef, but that will bring no relief, Y'ha-nthlei is deeper than they know.

    I still used Messenger, but then again I've never signed up for Facebook.

    Messenger still works if you use Pidgin, by the way.

    Been using the same hotmail email since 1998, doesn't bother me that they are merging with skype though. Kinda sad that msn messager doesn't even exist anymore but other than that i havent noticed a difference at all with my email. Besides that it now resides on outlook.com

    Which is what we're complaining about.
    Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore

    The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

    Step 1: Download Pidgin.
    Step 2: Input your Hotmail account information.
    Step 3: ????
    Step 4: Have cyber sex.

    The only annoying part is that thy won't STOP EMAILING ME ABOUT IT.

    For the love of christ I already have Skype and my Hotmail is only my school email, not used for messenger.

    They need an opt out on the emails for the love of god. Other than that IDGAF.
