Once upon a time, I had a 6-digit ICQ number.

Have a 7-digit one and just found out it still works.

I had one contact left on it called "brokenprincess" and it says she was last seen "a long time ago".

Creepy shit. Just in time for Halloween.

That's some OG shit there! I still remember my number. It was an 8 digit haha

Yeah, I'd give anything to remember the number. I'd make all my friends get accounts, just to flex.
