hi guys i really need an old version of icq. I know it sounds weird not to use the new version, but its so freaking confusing all I wanna do it login.

 

argh..

 

anyone got an old exe lying around in their drives? :P

not to matter, found it on their site. Seems everyone don't like the new version lol :P

or use the web based version

 

go.icq.com

thx heaps hunny buns! :P

ICQ is crap anyway.. too many spam bots use it now. Everyday i was getting upto 15 - 20 system notices a day... all rubbish!! :P

:dry:

 

nick....

 

lets not get to old times reminiscing :P

who remembers icq when it was in single message format, not continuous messages liks msn is now? and you were limited to 450 characters :P

One thing I do like about ICQ is the ability to send offline messages... for those things that don't warrant the effort of sending an email.

 

I use trillian, so I'm still on ICQ. And MSN. And I don't get ads or fall prey to MS security holes. Good times. Although I must admit, with MSN's new features, I'm under pressure to upgrade. Personally, I don't give a rats. But there are people on my contact list who really like the new features.

i used to use trillian, but got sick of it crashing. i have no friends on AIM, so i said to my icq people "i'll be on msn if you need me" and changed to microsoft's client. turns out they were all on msn too :P

I still remember my old 6 digit ICQ number. I was in the 200000 range - sigh!!!

yeah i had a 300,000 number but the account died totally, even icq couldn't get the password out of it!

 

offline messages was cool until you recieved like 125 of them from an idiot friend :D

 

i also loved the keyboard shortcuts. i still go for ctrl+shift+i to bring up msn and wonder why it doesnt work :kiwi: i generally like keyboard, i don't need a mouse for most windows operations. it gets a funny reaction from people to see you driving the computer with just keys :y:

i only just remembered my old number....prolly still works too

 

94776209

 

shit eh.....prolly the only thing i can remember from that far back

christ, what other ancient numbers are emblazened upon my mind?

 

how about 425577 - my parents phone number when i was 4 years old :D i can't remember any of the phone numbers after that (or even my current home phone half the time) but that one stays there forever!

 

here's a challenge for you all - what was the name of the company who originally developed icq? which country did they come from?
