This was kept in 2005 based on Google hits, forum subscriber numbers, and Alexa rank. Notability criteria was much looser back in the day; we have tightened it considerably since.

I cannot find any sources that indicate this website satisfies the WP:GNG or web-based media criteria. The PC World source given in the article is a mere trivial mention in an overall discussion of IM programs. The interview with the founder is an informal interview on a forum which is a dead link now anyways. Any book mentions I've found have been trivial mentions with no in-depth discussion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:18, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete After a brief search, I came to the same conclusion. No clear claims to notability could be found. South Nashua (talk) 23:23, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
