    It's great, but the font is so freakin small. Anyone know to change it?

    In the settings?

    I have to use Gaim 2 Beta 6 since Pidgin doesn't let you drag and drop buddy lists and atm it reverses them :(

    Nevermind, for some reason, I confused myself about a problem an older version of Pidgin had and was fixed this version. But yes, Pidgin is great. Very simple, clean interface, and nifty plug ins.

    I thought Pidgin is gaim2 because they are not allowed to use the name gaim(stood for GTK+ AIM) anymore since it resembles too closely to AIM. They shoulda been creative and called it PING (Pidgin Is Not Gaim) har har.
