Wait?! ICQ is still a thing?! 🤔 😳
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I thinik I even remember my old ICQ#, not that it probably works anymore 🤣
I’m 148249012 if anyone wants to say goodbye. 🤣 I never had the attachment to ICQ I did to AIM, but this is still the end of one heck of a run.
@anth@a.9srv.net I would if I could, but I’m pretty sure I would never be able to recovery my account or login 🤣 Pretty sure (98% sure) I was 98888663
I still have my ICQ credentials and apparently they still work, but they want to know my phone number now. So, fuck that. 😂

RIP, ICQ.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes RIP ICQ 🤣 You were good for a short-time, but I quickly just used IRC instead and it’s stuck every since 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com @anth@a.9srv.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de ICQ was the first IM I ever had. I also still know my number, but I deleted my account well over a decade ago together with AIM and MSN in favor of Jabber.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Come to think of it I might have deleted too 🤔
There are some old timers among my acquaintances who still use icq. I’ll have to upset them with this news :/
