AIM vs MSN

The cool thing about ICQ was that you could leave messages to people who were offline and they'd receive them the next time they signed in.

I haven't used ICQ for years either, mostly because everyone else stopped so no one was on my list anymore.

I also remember my number! 70430971

Also, I have AIM, but I only got it when we were starting up the CM. Al preferred it and it was a better way to talk to a lot of American CMers and a lot of people who wanted to do trades for OLP stuff.

I have like 100 people on my list though. All OLP people, I don't even remember who most of them actually are, as many of them don't use the CM anymore.

So I rarely sign in to AIM.

icq was the shit. It made it into a prozzak song and everything.
I wish it hadn't died.

Oh yeah! That reminds me, yeah ICQ ruled, I changed all the sounds into simpsons sounds, so it would have homer BURP when I received a message or say WOOHOO when someone signed in etc...

It was wicked awesome.

We should start an icq revolution and have all the cmers go back to icq.

AlyssWonders · Post by **AlyssWonders** » 3/6/2006, 8:22 pm

but then I would actually have to get icq

Me too.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 3/6/2006, 8:23 pm

Yeah same. Not saying that it's a problem, but it would be tough convincing people to do this.

I'll be in a rocking chair, listening to OLP on my ancient iPod which none of the kids will have ever heard of
