I still remember my ICQ number and I haven't used it since 99b. And looking it up reveals I was stupid enough to fill in my birthday correctly for it, which still displays publicly to this day.
Looks like my contact list was wiped at some point over the years, though.
My ICQ UID is 15584496 . I still remember people buying less-digits or easy-to-remember digits accounts for real money. Gosh, I just logged in. Kudos for not auto-deleting my account for so many years.
163766. Had tons of people asking to buy it. Too bad I can't even log in since it's tied to my email address from 4th or 5th grade. I think the numbers started at 100000. Prior to that, elementary school, I used PowWow and Mplayer to socialize with pretty much only Californians.. since everyone on the internet back then lived in CA. That was a weird time. I of course was 18 for.. oh, 10 years. I believe I've met 2-3…
In other news, WebRings still exists as well.

I do. Have one friend that's still on ICQ. Everybody else mostly migrated to VK.
Vk?

Wow, I thought mine in the 400k's was low. I lost it, though.

Had some great times chatting to people all around the world on ICQ. I think I still have a couple of FB friends from that era.
I was bouncing an idea of an IRC like pager app around in my head in the months before I became aware of ICQ (but well after it was already developed).
Sadly I remember my ICQ number, 3522071, but have long since forgotten my password. Since at the time they either didn't bother with recovery email addresses or it was optional I also have no access to my account.
Around 2000 I got annoyed with the ads and crap in ICQ, so I wrote Miranda ICQ, now called Miranda IM ( http://www.miranda-im.org/ ) based on libicq. One of my main inspirations to write the app was I wanted to connect a chatbot to ICQ to harass my friends, but the standard API wouldn't allow sending messages. So I added a plugin API, connected the MegaHAL chatbot and good times ensued. I lost interest in Miranda sho…
