While many of you HAVE ICQ numbers, who really uses them a lot?

For those who don’t remember the original thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=20568](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=20568)

For those who have not listed on OpalCat’s handy [site,](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/icq.adp)

ICQ is a free, downloadable, neato chat program, sorta like AOL Instant Messanger, but WAY better.

So whose fun to talk to? Until the weather perks up, and my friends return from their various junior year abroads, I have time to kill. My ICQ # is 70433539.

My # is 596417.  
I’m on almost all the time, even if I’m not using the computer, both at work and at home, and I’m perpetually bored. ICQ is the coolest communication tool since the telephone.

My ICQ at home is 51052757, and my IM screen name is TofuRose. I usually have both on at the same time, since some of my friends use one or the other exclusively. If my away message is up, it generally means my BF is kicking my butt in Unreal Tournament.
