That's my Signal alert sound.
I remember being annoyed back in the 90s that ICQ was better than AIM, but everyone just wanted to use AIM. On ICQ you could message offline people, change your display name, and other stuff I don't remember. It kind of was a big influence in my "wow, people are a bunch of lazy morons" impulse I need to push against even now.
I met my wife on ICQ in 1998.
I'm so sorry you'll have to divorce her next month.
You win some and you lose some as they say
Holy crap I remembered my 7 digit id and password! Everyone on my list was "last seen a long time ago" and there's no chat history.
3369689 you can add me
I guess we are lucky they aren't selling our old chats.
You think they would admit to that publicly?
Perhaps. But what value would 20 year old chats really have?
I have a 6 digit ICQ number. Actually made some friends IRL via ICQ.
I’m a peasant with 7 digits but met some friends on their too who I’ve met in real life and been to their weddings and bachelor parties
I got in so early, I got a single digit IQ number!
Wait, what's ICQ?
Awww
