317729611... Guess i'm not one of the six digit cool kids :(

rospaya

Six digit UIN, one of the first half million users, back in 1996 :) I still have it and still use it.

markarian

261656. Haven't used it in years.

Lizard_King

I have a 7 digit. I keep it online on Trillian but NEVER use it.

I do still remember it like any other phone number and even work it in to some of my passwords.

FlyRyan

206815116 is my number, but I don't think I've ever talked to anyone with it. Feel free to IM me though, I'm on it with Adium all the time.

videoCWK

God, it's been so long, i totally forget my number. Almost 9 years since i've used it.

P3nnst8r

Low 7 digit number. I still use it with Trillian, but next to noone I know uses it anymore.

nimblesquirrel

sadly i have an 8 digit numbers... i remember seeing 9 and i believe 10 digit numbers show up near the end. the end being when i stopped using ICQ for people in the office and just set up a Jabber server. the only people i know that still use ICQ are Russians. and one former co-worker who just kept using the one i gave him.

x23

Mine was 2900XXX - 7 digits, but low. I remember laughing at the 8 digit numbers. I wonder if my old number and password will still work...I wonder who all my friends were on my list.

Marcelo

How long is yours?

About an inch and a half, unless it's really cold. Wait, you mean my ICQ number? Ohhh...awkward...

frndlybnny

143XXXX, but I haven't used it in years. One of the ICQ 2000 versions broke something and I just never went back. :(

Slash3

I had a 6-digit #... but it got stolen!! Yeah, a few years after ICQ became popular someone stole my account... and I lost contact with my friends whom I used ICQ to keep in touch with. I still remember my number... 401884

Kobe_No_Means_No

I got six digits, thing is I don't remember them :)

adilator

low 7 digit number

sabernar

I think everyone lost their virginity to ICQ.

BTW - How low of a six digit number do you have? I got 176xxx. :D

AndyGoodwin

lol just like their icon, I got deflowered lol

Tohe

OMG .. I lost my virginity to ICQ!

Tohe

Lower 6-digit 258xxx. Do I get a free Xbox?

jordanwan

I got you all beat. 598358. Haven't used it in probably 10 years.

Rupan

I'm so ashamed of being an Israeli right now..

dorsc

low six... 124xxx to be imprecise.

I am disturbed by the placement of the flower behind the guy who's rocking out on their package.

shini

oh the fun that was had with icq. anyone else remember "not" using win-nuke, etc? 15949xxx. 8-digits.

adamdouglasking

2245XXX - I miss the old ICQ days.

nucwin83

Low six digits, of course.

soggy_cheerio

didnt know it was almost dead. i actually just made my first account today :-P

jrghoull

1246799 :)

sublimnl

...hopefully it won't give you a virus, the way so many anonymous users on ICQ seem to want to these days.

deusdiabolus

heh, this is nothing. we have the "Google Toilet-bowl freshner"

Arelar

Your six-digit number will go for about $60 in Russia, they get stolen quite a lot. Numbers like 100691 are considered "GOLDEN", and may go for up to $100.

god.DLL

I'm pretty sure I had one in the 5-6 digit range but long, long forgot it.

Darkest Daze

6 in the 130s. My friend had a 5'er. Ah... the good old days before Russians decided they always wanted to be my friend and asked me to cash checks for them.

conception

680900 - have not used it in years.

CntryDoe

6 digits: 179xxx. And I remembered it without even trying. Crazy! Those were the good old days.

shafnitz

hoserelder

this is a dumb as beer shampoo.

Grifter

I'd say ICQ is THE most popular IM in Germany... some use MSN as well, but AIM is only known to a ver very few people.

JuMe

2022677

inboxmarketing

nine digit for me, #131480241, always using it thanks to the jabber protocol & the services transports offered (see njs.netlab.cz)

w3c.org

I'm a low 7 - 115xxxx. My sister claims to have had her account stolen for her 'low' number, but I don't remember what it was. I've got a couple of folks who still use it.

kothmia

another 6 digit here 362XXX, I remember the days where I would chat to 6-7 people on icq in the same time, in different chat windows.

Zeasar

ICQ was a bastion of viruses and spam. I had an account but quickly deleted it and will never use another instant messenger as long as I own a computer.

Scuba Steve

Low 7:

130XXX

tomasland

Beat you all with 9 digits. xxx323600. I put xxx because I can't remember it.

nintendude

628XXX here. AIM is hardly used here in Toronto (and assume most of Canada). Most of my conversations occur over MSN.

thecharlie

Did I mention I've hated instant messaging since about the second time someone tried to use it to get free Windowz support out of me.

Spyvie

Believe it or not, I HAD a 4 digit ICQ number, starting with 8, but I forgot it years ago...

Yea, I know.

Spyvie

@AndyGoodwin: 125xxx, but i rarely use icq anymore.

firesign

I haven't used the client in years, but my wife and I still use ICQ accounts to talk during the day via Miranda. I highly recommend Miranda, especially if you like software with a size that can still be measured in KB instead of MB or GB.

CSX321

lol I had a 5 digit, 21629 :][

gre9del

wow icq. I wish it hadn't died thanks to Microsoft bundling MSN with every version of windows so that the technotards youth were like "I IM with msn because I didnt have to download anything" Weak!!! 247XXXX peace!

preactive

366XXX ... I used to be so proud of that.

"uh oh!..."

that sound still haunts me.

hey does anyone still have that sound in .wav format somewhere? that would make an awesome mobile phone new message sound...

sam_i_am

5554295... I had that back in the mid-90s, when the hell did you all sign up?

shiftyeyedgoat

I still use mine occasionally, but I don't use the program, just the ICQ transport built into Pandion.

/I'm IMing you all!

Mr. Gunn

@nintendude: Yeah, my cellphone-use-only ICQ account is only slightly rememberable due to a number of double digits, e.g. 1223344551 (I kid you not, that's the pattern, not the actual number).

Buran

Mine's 106xxxx, but I really don't care who's got a lower number than I do. I just care that the few people I know who only use ICQ (I'm on a number of different networks, thanks to Adium) know that number.

Buran

@Kobe_No_Means_No: Why would someone steal an IM account? They're free, for heavens sakes.

Buran

I had a friend who had an eight-digit number but he only had to remember the first 4 digits as the last 4 were a mirror image of the first! I was so envious! lol

Ben

I signed up in 1997 when I got my first computer... that was grade 9 for me.
I had a low 8 digit. I remember Win nuking people, and having weird IM's from random people. I used it up until my first year of college in 2002, until I phased it out since more people had MSN by then. No one in canada uses AIM for some reason. Maybe if they changed it to Canada Online it would have caught on.

tuckertuck

mine is 7 digits, but starts w/ my area code, then all zeros - how rare is that?

djrogi

179*** - I signed up in 1994 or 1995. I used to give it out when i met someone like normal people would a phone number.

necrolingua

@sam_i_am: You can grab all of the sound files from the ICQLite sounds directory.

ICQ was the best hook-up client I have ever used in my life!

skulldriveshaft

I've got a 7-digit (1494853) that's permanently embedded into my brain. Like a lot of you, I still connect through ICQ, but only through Trillian or Digsby. I've noticed it seems to be better for sending large files than AIM or MSN, so that's what I use it for these days. It also doesn't have a character limit for messages, so I can copy-paste an entire document and send it as one message, which comes in handy.

Hey, I logged into ICQ and updated my profile there for the first time in years after reading this. I'm glad to know somehow ICQ was as an integral part of their 90s lives as it was for me...

asurroca

I signed up somewhere around late 1999 and got an 8 digit number. Gosh I remember it to this day! 45136070!
Those were the times when getting an ICQ number was the equivalent of getting a chicks number!
And boy did it help my love life!!

I miss it, and the Fog horn it blew when starting up!

pradster

4449763... Wow the memories!

uh oh!

hahaha

ProjectMoonlightCafe

563XXX, But all IM's are blocked at work...

Odiwan

I'm 380xxxx. I made an account for myself at work and I use it to send myself notes to my house. The fact that it's persistent even when I'm not connected is nice. My network at home goes down fairly frequently. I know other clients do that now, but they didn't when I started doing it. Of the 22 contacts on my list at work, zero are currently online. It pretty much stays that way. Poor ICQ.

Mobius

4814493
still using it

traak

I still load it up in Pidgin, just in case someone from the old school pops up.... Got a six digi...794192

J-Fu

I'm impressed by the way the trademark flower's popping out of the musician's butt. Classy.

Strangefellow

2774668. I just knew that off the top of my head, even though I haven't used ICQ in over 5 years. This is why I cannot remember anything work-related.

Taigan

Eight digits for me - 43774963. Why I remember, I'm not sure. 1999-ish, if I remember correctly. I'm know for sure that they're at least in the ten-digit range by now, and perhaps eleven? Crazy.

andy

Mines 6 digits and starts with 186xxx. I still login and use it daily. IIRC, I learned about it from some freshmen at CMU in 976 or 97.

starbreiz

OMG and I am still on ICQ at this very moment.

thunder7

8 digits i used to have a six,....
but it got hacked =P

vinchbr

49739400 .. 10 years on I can still remember it lol

onejosh

I didn't even notice the flower out of the musician's butt, I was too distracted by his grip on his own lengthy "ICQ number"

Teleport

Well, there is AIM toothpaste, so why not ICQ?

SavvyAuntie

I loved ICQ! It had so much more functionality than AIM, at least when AIM first came out. I haven't used it in ages, but I had a low 70*** number. BUT! My friend who introduced me to ICQ was 10,000-something.

mousemanb

Ah, the glory days of ICQ. I have a low seven digit job, 206XXXX that I've had for as long as I can remember. Not that I ever sign into ICQ anymore (even if Trilian supports it)...

storm2k

Mine is 92XXXX , and i still use it (Miranda client). Why not? since most of my friends still use it...It's also better than bloat MSN service. It's also never offline, compared to MSN service.

dhippo

I had a six digit one too. 5622xx i believe. It's been years though!

soma09

Mine is 6# starts with 623xxx whooo what a blast that was WAYY back 4 or 5 years ago!!

degrimm

Mine is 158XXX, does that mean I win? Err.. maybe that means I lose. Heck I have 4 digit slashdot number...

Blackforge

152262

Still use it daily with Trillian, but all I get are links in Russian. A buddy of mine has a 105XXX number.

-Aox

Aox

Aox, it's not 105XXX it's 103XXX

103957 FTW!!!!!! ICQ Member Since: 12/5/1996 6:09:00 PM

I still use it almost daily with Pidgin tho I get sick of all the Russian spam invites...

Hey Ruskies, ICQ spam is gay, so stop it, 'kay?
