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.

18434 Will never forget it. So many good memories there

Damn, five figures. Nice! 912800 here.

I had the app on my phone, just to check in on my friendslist. None of them had logged on since about 2004 or so, at the latest.

1817807, here. Yours may be the smallest number I've ever seen.

I don't remember mine, but it was a 5 digit that started with 42. I was very proud.

Ooh, you beat mine: 848330 (unfortunately, mine was hacked over 5 years ago, and by the time I realized, their logs didn't go back far enough for me to validate that I was the original owner)

I actually did forget mine. I think it was in the low six digits though, 2-something IIRC.

WOW, 5 digits! You’ve got me beat! Not doxing myself because full name and all used for work; but I was a 6 digits UIN starting with 2 here.
