There is something called "QICQ" now. Is it something compatible to QQ, or is it some sort of add-in to the system? Somebody in the Chinese version claimed that it is the new name for QQ, but I wonder, as such information was not found in the official website of QQ. --Tomchiukc 07:25, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- so far as i know, "OICQ" stands for "open ICQ". i don't know how they got this name, but it was changed into "QQ" shortly later. --Yacht (talk) 17:50, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Tech Stuff
Any technical information about the program, platforms it can run on, ports it uses etc?
- Try examining the Gaim plugin's source code for that information. Ashibaka tock 01:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- UDP protocol: typical port 8000, the first byte is 02 and last byte is 03
- TCP protocol: typical port 80, the second byte is 02 and last byte is 03
- Though the fact that it uses arbitrary ports for file transfer and other functionality makes it really hard to do traffic characterization. I hope someone can give me more information for identifying QQ file transfer.
[edit] English registration?
Since there is an English version of the program, why isn't there a registration page for it? There's no way I can type Chinese characters for that security check thing.--195.229.242.54 05:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Your right. I searched the net, but only the Chinese form was available. Non chinese are locked out!
I've downloaded English QQ client fron [1] and successfully registered my QQ number.
The English version is also avaliable from the official website, and it is Vista Compatible. [2] NeoDeGenero 12:14, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
To get a QQ number you have to be able to enter Chinese characters into the verification fields. Easiest to have a chinese person do that for you, or ask a chinese person just to get a number for you. Next easist way is to use a website where you can mouse write the characters and then copy and paste into the verification field. SOme Chinese knowledge will come very handy here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.198.92.221 (talk) 03:08, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
The English signup page is here: http://signup.qq.com It does not require to enter Chinese character anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.198.92.148 (talk) 08:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Completely Closed Platform
Because QQ only runs on Windows, some hobbiest (Mainly Chinese Mac / Linux) users tried to develope thrid party QQ clients that can be excuted on other operating systems through reverse engineering the original QQ portocol. iQQ, LumaQQ and isQ are some most famous examples. However, since late 2005, Tencent strengthened its network security and blocked all unofficial access to its server. As by now (July, 2006), QQ can only be accessed from its offical released windows client.
- This is not true, LumaQQ 2005 and 2006 are able to log on to tencent servers as of august 2006
There is an English version available at www.qq.co.za
for other unix alike system,say linux. Eva maybe the best choice. It looks like QQ.not only the appearance, but also the function. besides, Eva includes the authentication part which help you log on the tencent server.
I saw LumaQQ working on a Mac In October 2007. I have QQ running succesfully on Linux Ubuntu using Pidgin as a client (as of November 2007). However, Audio and Video chat will not work on either.
[edit] Disambiguation
Deleted all the QQ emoticon and World of Warcraft stuff. Disambiguation pages are solely intended to allow users to choose among several Wikipedia articles, usually when a user searches for an ambiguous term. It is NOT the proper place to define the various terms, those belong on their own pages. The QQ emoticon info also lacked any sources and was total original research.

Note to Sabar -
I am not sure I approve of people deleting stuff without making an attempt to replicate the information (unless incorrect) in the correct place. It seems to defeat the purpose of an information storage point.
[edit] south african version
is the south african qq managed by the chinese qq? or is it subcontracted to a south african company? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.139.244.236 (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Tux in logo?
Mention if and why Tux appears in the logo. Linux related? Jidanni (talk) 06:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's not really Tux. QBro has a scarf. Tux doesn't. In addition QQ doesn't have a Linux client and disconnect any third-party clients (which makes the service unaccessible from Linux). Though it was called OICQ (short for OpenICQ) in very early versions... --Kakurady (talk) 00:05, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AIM and QQ
The newest version of Aol Instant Messenger has a option to install a plugin called "QQ Games" the plugin has the same QQ penguin logog as tencent QQ...did the two companies cooperate?should we include this in the wiki? DivineBaboon (talk) 07:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WebChat
http://webqq.qq.com is down. I hope somebody can do some research and look at other options for web access. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.198.92.148 (talk) 08:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
