    I still know my ICQ number. Back when all instant messagers had open protocols and you could use one open source client for all of them.

      I’m still slightly mad that everyone wanted to use AIM instead of ICQ, even though icq was better. It had offline messaging and you could change your display name, neither of which aim supported.

      Anyone younger than like 30 probably has no idea that those were noteworthy features at one time. You could only send someone a message if they were actively connected at the same time as you.

      I regret forgetting mine. I know it was 3965… Something. But that’s as far as I know for sure.
