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.

That's a shame, I still remember mine. Weird how you can remember 7 random digits from 30 years ago...

My 8 digit UIN has been used as a password for a lot of things

Meanwhile I’ve no idea what’s my partners phone number

I couldnt remember mine if you put a gun to my head, and it was only 5 digits

I have some of mine somewhere with partial message history (in MS Access databases). But I don't remember them.
