All I need is the typewriter sound effect from ICQ and I'll be set.
It took me years to realise that ICQ stood for - I seek you
TIL lol
Ha same
Glad I'm not the only one. Seems to obvious once you see it
Wait seriously? Had no idea 🤣
uh oh!
Yo you’re taking me back! Man I miss those old days and msn before it
I maintain that, asides from having greater access to videos and music now, that was probably the best time to be part of the internet. Everything felt new and fresh. You were always discovering something new. It didn't become an echo chamber for the same stuff just posted on different sites. And yeah... chat apps like ICQ and MSN were golden.
Either bring those chat features back or take me back to that time (but only for a certain period of time). I would go back for a few months nostalgia but not for good
