    RIP 53215700, the oldest account I’m still aware of that I’ve forgotten the password to. Must have made it in 98 or 99.

    Edit: it was actually 2001 because I was in a Tribes 2 clan and we used ICQ to chat.

      52 million seems high for that timeframe.

        Yeah, you’re right. I was playing Tribes 2 around that time and it came out in 2001.

      I have no idea why I remember mine, 520009. Haven’t used ICQ in many years; I didn’t know it was still up.

    It’s with the aim and yahoo messenger in the clouds now. Good bye Trillian profile I had back in the late 90s, you were too beautiful for this world.

      Yes! Trillian was awesome! I used it fairly religiously from the early to mid 00s. Combined my ICQ, Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, and AIM. I miss that beautiful, convenient piece of software.
