Hey looky here...

I found a site with every ICQ ever made archived. Just in case anyone wanted to use an older version. Personally after AOL bought icq it's been CRAP.

WARNING: Some of the older clients are not compatible with XP :thumbsup:

but hopefully someone will find a use for them. :flowers:

I tried for hours to come up with a signature and all I came up with was this.

Just to remind everyone that FireFox now includes an extension that can enable it as a generic ICQ. Ain't it great to have so many choices?

FYI that link is broken. Anyone know if such a site still exists? I haven't used ICQ for probably...4 or 5 years. It was my favorite IM app for a long time.

Might be good to unpin this topic or nuke it entirely if the ICQ resource is gone?

After my previous post, I checked out brunt's link. The link below is direct to their ICQ page. They have 13 versions! I believe I was a user from the 1.x versions up to the 99b.

Which is the last version before AOL took over?
