Apparently 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.

@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. 😀
@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.
