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.

    My standard reply was “hailing frequencies open.” Needless to say it was the opening line that let multiple women know that I was single. Surprisingly it had a 100% success rate. I was the best nerd.

        The data is conflicting. I think they had already made up their mind on that topic before messaging me. My reply just reinforced their decision. It’s hard to separate causation and correlation in that case.
