ICQ is finally closing forever!
I am a tiny bit sad. If only because now I will remember a number -- 23149880 -- that is truly and completely obsolete. I really need to conserve brain space for more important things.
Also, if ICQ can last, what, 15 years? after it became irrelevant, what does that say about how long we're going to have to suffer with Twitter/X if people ever actually leave en-masse?
Do you remember your ICQ#?

Over 30 years later, those 15 characters don’t exist anywhere besides my brain anymore.

And it’s not even “look at how easy this sequence of letters and numbers is.” It’s just a random jumble.
Living free in my brain since 1997.

I actually didn't realize that ICQ was still a thing (though I suppose not for long).
