it didn't even occur to me that ICQ was still around

Uh oh!

The dumb kid that I was when I discovered you could change the sounds in windows...
I set everything to that sound.
Windows starts up? Uh oh!
Opens application? Uh oh!
Closes application? Uh oh!
Changes setting? Uh oh!
It got annoying real quick.

I used ICQ quite a bit in its glory times. I remember that people eventually shifted to MSN, but I don't quite remember why. (Perhaps it was bundled with Windows?)

Yeah, when we were young and dumb and didn't mind chatting without even transport encryption.

Most people in my circle moved to AIM with some on MSN and one or two weirdos on Yahoo. The ability to have a fun username maybe contributed. Did ICQ let you set an away status with melodramatic lyrics? I remember that being an important feature in the others.

(Perhaps it was bundled with Windows?)
As was the style at the time.
