		jen_h on May 25, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: ICQ will stop working from June 26 Wow. Blast from the past. Just tried to log in after 20 years and it worked…but I didn’t get farther than it requiring full name and a phone number and lots of other mobile web badness before noping out. If they still have those account creds and first names, y’all reckon VKontacte has our old messages? :X Oh well, have great memories, pouring one out for ICQ tonight.

Wow, a blast from the past indeed. I used it heavily in 1997 and then switched to other things in the late 90s. Can't believe this still works.
