ICQ will stop working on June 26. It’s encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn’t know anything of it still remained.

      I used mine in my mail signature for a while and I’ve kept all my emails since late 90s.

        Fair. My current mail signature has a dead link in it and I can’t be bothered to do anything about it.

      I am autistic.

      Seriously, though, diagnosed autistic and I remember numbers exceptionally well.

      • ICQ number 6725571
      • Pi to 260 decimal places
      • My ex-wife’s driver’s license number
      • My 11-digit Blockbuster employee numbers from the two stores I used to work at
      • The nine-digit employee numbers of a few employees under me from when I worked at Six Flags in 1994

      For some reason, I never used the “save login info” feature as a teen, I didn’t trust that it was safe, so I typed it every time. Hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years. So even after 15 years or so of not using it, I still remember.

      For some reason short strings of digits have always stuck really well in my memory. I still remember my high school locker combos and every phone number I’ve ever had.
