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…

I forgot to mention an important fact about ICQ core code-base. The core framework for ICQ was actually written by AOL long before ICQ was born. I.e. they developed general framework for scalable distributed systems. So some comments in the code are dated as early as 1992. I didn't mean formatting style but general flavor of how programs was written at these days. I can't put it into words, it's better to just see th…
Why do you assume it was written by AOL and not Mirabilis?
Also, this code is part of AOL internal framework which is not directly connected to ICQ.

I'm surprised I remembered the password at all, and I can't change it without giving out a mobile phone number for a SMS. No thanks.
"Your account has been compromised, you must enter a mobile to enable 2FA"? I got that when trying to troll, uh I mean chat, a group chat last night.
Change Password
[ Password field for current password ]
(i) Passwords must contain 8-16 symbols. They must include numbers and uppercase and lower case Latin letters.
[ New Password field ] [ Confirm Password field ]
(i) Get SMS code via mobile phone number to confirm new password
[ Country code selector ] [ Phone number field ]
[ Request SMS button ]For some reasons I still remember my login number.

The early Trillian ~0.72; that one I really loved; I found Miranda later, so that I never really used. A while ago I digged around in my computer and collected _all_ the chat logs I was able to find: Trillian, MSN, Pidgin, Empathy, Thunderbird, XChat, Facebook, and normalized them to plain text. They were in all sorts of formats: line-by-line XML, JSON, per file JSON, per file XML, text, HTML. (I had to exclude Skype…

A bit off topic, I guess, but I think the thing we most need now is a moderately low-level, easy to use, cross-platform UI toolkit. I don't want my desktop apps to take up 1 GB of RAM each and feel slow.

Sounds like SubSeven.
Or NetBus.
