Does anyone remember ICQ? I remember using this in Highschool and a little bit in college. It so different compared to todays instant messengers...you had a number instead of a name you made up.

Yeah, it sucked. These days I just stick to AIM and MSN.

I wonder if people still use it...

People with the old boxy macs do i bet.

I used to use it all the time back in middle school. Then I got into high school and put away such silly chat programs, well mostly because nobody used it.

People do still use it. I never have but my younger sister has.

This isn't retro by any means just a funny story that happened to my younger sister.

She was subbing at a High School in a little town (if you want to call it a town) for the last 9wks of this school yr. Well the students of course wanted to play around with her to break her in they locked her classroom door and removed the door knob from the inside of the classroom therefore trapping her in her room. This school doesn't even have phones in the classrooms and it was lunch time so it was going to be a little while before anyone comes to try to get in the room letting her out. So she got on her computer went to ICQ found a teacher down the hall on and asked him to please let her out of her room. My sister didn't make a big deal out of what the students did to her she just laughed it off lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol. So yeah some peeps still use ICQ.

Uhhh... wow. Is that legal?

I still have my ICQ number. I haven't bothered with it in years, though.

I LOVED ICQ! LOL "UH OH!" god those were the days..I remember making my own .wav files and putting them for each persons "online alert" when they got on.

Here is an even older one..anyone remember PowWow? I loved PowWow as well. I remember the chat request sound sounding like some old bird out in the jungle.

I never used it.

PowWow...never heard of that one

I used ICQ a long time ago when I used to hang out on Furcadia. They had a link to it on their page. Then we all switched to AIM, followed by MSN. These days I don't even use those programs, maybe because if my friends want me they can just text my cell.
