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.

sadly annexed by VK goodbye, icq lasted longer than the first ever.

6751 6686 here... I'm glad it's finally getting a burial since it died like 20 years ago.

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 :)

When I was a kid we used to call.one of my uncles exs ICQ, because she laughed exactly like the icq lol sound.

She must have thought we loved her, we were always trying to make her laugh just to hear it.

Technically wasn't. Some Russian company bought the rights and cleared old accounts at some point.

Doneee ,

Not sure about the owner, but I was able to sign in and see my profile a few days ago. It was an account from maybe ‘96 or ‘97, and I hadn’t even attempted to sign in in at least 15 years.

Out of nowhere, I logged in like a month ago. Everything was still there (at least, my friends list was). Hadn't logged in since the early 2000s. A few weeks later, I heard it was being shuttered. Weird.
