Christina WarrenApparently ICQ is dying in a month. My number was 185645 and that is my ultimate “I was an early adopter as a child” flex for people that are now old. Except for me. Because I will always be 29.
Eduardo Fonseca 🇧🇷 🇺🇸@film_girl impressive! Mine was 319053. Good times.
Patrice@film_girl Mine was 281620153
Guess I was late 😂

Matt@film_girl oh my god I remembered my number and password.
🇨🇦 Steve@film_girl Mine was six digits and I'm pretty sure it started with 153 or 154.
But I haven't seen it in a decade.
I knew people with much lower numbers back in the day.
@film_girl I’m pretty sure it was still Mirabilis ICQ at the time. This isn’t so much a flex as “holy shit, we’re nerfs,” you know. 😀
@film_girl Omg. Nerds. Lol.
@tewha indeed it was! In fact, I’m positive I signed up within the first two or three weeks it was available, looking at their Wikipedia page. I had just turned 12. Damn.
Seth 🎙️
@film_girl I didn't know it was still a thing.
Tiago "Salvador" Souza@film_girl dang, and here was I thinking my 8 digits 32417952 amounted to anything. OG!
Paul Goracke@film_girl …once you finally turn 29. 👍
Frozen Leo ❄️🇺🇦@film_girl Oh darn! Mine was 15805683. I somehow remember it better than several of my street addresses
Stuart Langridge@film_girl it’s weird, isn’t it, how everyone else keeps aging at the rate of one year per year and literally just you and I are immune to this. It must be really hard for other people to stare into an uncaring universe and know that they age, and yet envy those only two glorious people with eternally smooth skin, and no grey hairs, none, not any, and a perfect balance between pining for yesterday and yearning for tomorrow. They have my sympathy, the poor unfortunate souls.
@film_girl Hm. Having written this, it sounds more like a woeful dig than I imagined. Sorry about that. The difference between us is that you’re _actually_ 29 and I just think I haven’t changed since I was.
@sil I’m so lucky I have no grey hairs. That said, the second it starts, I’m starting an immediate every three-week root-dye regimine, just like my mom! The good news is she went grey much earlier than my alleged actual age, so I’m hoping I’ll be like my grandmother and not go grey until my 80s. But I am fully committed to still looking 29 at 85 so…
@film_girl people talk about unifying natural ability and technological accomplishment. They think they’re talking about sport. No. They’re talking about this. Go out there and knock ‘em dead.
(Also, being like one’s grandmother is always cool. Mine was travelling around the place and laughing her socks off into her nineties, while having friends literally half her age. And dyeing her hair the whole time. I miss her. Be all you can be.)

@film_girl 932010 & TIL that ICQ was still around. #PourOneOut
Keith Kastorff@film_girl I remember ICQ fondly. It was a different universe.
FeedMe Doughnuts@film_girl I started with icq in the first 3 months. Stopped using it about 2002. It was a great messenger. Small ran fast. Miss the pop ups. Uh oh :)
enoch_exe_inc@film_girl Minecraft is mine. When I joined, there were only about 80,000 registered users according to its stats page.
Vickie 🇨🇦 😷@film_girl I'm bummed I haven't been using it still all these years....I thought it died years ago. #RIPICQ
Kenneth@film_girl They’ll take away my ASR-33 teletype from my cold, dead hands.
xs4me2@film_girl Same here!
sam@film_girl Uh-oh! *typewriter sounds*
I was 7201739, I was always proud to be 7-digits, 6-digits is some real cred
Casey Liss@film_girl 1202572. Which is, unsurprisingly, quite a bit more than you. But it’s still really early!
I don’t know what email address is associated with it, and I haven’t a damned clue what the password is either way.
Michael@caseyliss @film_girl If I remember correctly, mine was 11066681. Otherwise I have that number stuck in my head for god knows why.
I tried to log in a decade or so ago, but was completely at a loss. Uh oh!
Mike Taffet
Wayne Dixon@caseyliss @film_girl you were a. It before me Casey. I’m 12534533… I even attempted to sign in and guess what. I was able to. I can’t believe I remembered the password.
Jake@film_girl 604358 here. It eventually got stolen by someone who wrote in Cyrillic. I miss the olden days.
Justin Hiltz@film_girl I lost access to my account by way of an ancient isp-based email address that I no longer know 😔
LordMortis@film_girl wow! That’s low!
Rick Williams@film_girl My ultimate early adopter flex is my Steam Friend Code is 3879. My son with his 9 digit code isn’t very impressed though.
Mike Welch@film_girl oh man, this kind of bums me out 😔 That was my main chat app freshman/sophomore year of college. I still log in every now and then for shits and giggles.
