I thought it had died 20 years ago.

Wonder if I could log in once more and look at my 6-digit number. I’m pretty sure it was 300321, but that was a long time ago.

I missed the entire era. Never used it. No idea. Guess I just didn't have a use for it. Kind of like when smart phones started getting popular. Got my first "cell" phone in 1990, a motorola bag phone so just having a "phone" was not that big of a deal.

Fucking noobs. I had a 5 digit number back in the 90s. Pretty sure I stopped using it before half the people on this forum were born

I had it early on but eventually uninstalled it because random people pinging me while I was busy doing something else was annoying. Joke's on me because 25 years on, the entire internet is like that.

I had something called Sierra's Imagination Network. It was back in 94 and I used that to chat with friends or just to play online games with my dad. A lady I worked with used ICQ to pick up unsuspecting men. She was like 600 pounds and smelled like rancid garbage sitting out in the sun. I assumed that ICQ was some dating site and never bothered.
