On the evening of July 1st, fans of chatting in virtual space were unable to connect to ICQ. The unusual problem affected the QIP and Adium (OS X) clients. Upon connecting to the network, users were greeted with a message demanding that they update their client to the latest version. Fulfilling this requirement changed nothing — the messenger would again demand an update.
However, this trouble did not affect all users. The principle by which victims of these mysterious connection failures are selected remains a mystery. No comments from specialists have been received yet.

Stolen from the internet. Downloading a new QIP. Let’s see what Kopete has to say.
UPD. Kopete handled it. Quickly fetched some XML thing and connected. By the way, the updated QIP (8070) connected too.
