how is everyone remembering their ICQ number?
I forgot mine 5 minutes after adding it to Trillian.
I miss Trillian :(
I have no idea why I remember mine, 520009. Haven’t used ICQ in many years; I didn’t know it was still up.
UH OH!
With ICQ I learned the social skills that I couldn’t on the real world because I had been bullied to near death. I talked to random people all over the world, learned that I could talk to girls without having to feel like shit.
Used it so much, and with volume up, my upstairs neighbor thought I was watching the teletubbies all the time because of the UH OH!
Met my first girlfriend this way, she was in Mexico, I was in Europe. Moved to Mexico to marry her (bad idea, she was rather manipulativr and a huge cheater as it turned out, got divorced) and lived in Mexico for samn near 20 years.
To say that ICQ had a big positive influence in my life is an understatement, it changed my life beyond anything I’ve ever had before.
Thank you.
I’m pleasantly surprised the number of replies on Lemmy saying they used this service. It’s nice to know that there are some old people on here, like me :)
6751 6686 here… I’m glad it’s finally getting a burial since it died like 20 years ago.

RIP 23344084
sadly annexed by VK goodbye, icq lasted longer than the first ever.
Weird how i still remember my number… and useless now, 'cept maybe for passwords.
So long 104034239.
Well not anymore
True… although i’d think ICQ numbers in Ripper dictionaries are probably lower priority than simple brute-forcing sequential numbers.
UH OH is my text message notification. People think it’s cute but then their eyes glaze over when I tell them where it’s from.
