ICQ, a once-popular IM, is shutting down on June 26, it says on its website. It once served tens of millions of users daily.

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.

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.

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.
