The craziest thing about all of this, is that my number 7672xxx still works! Every few years I download the client, and my username and password from the late 90s is still valid. This is no small feat in the age of shutdowns and spin-offs.
In other news, WebRings still exists as well.
- drinchev 10y agoJust a question. I see more of the commenters have posted their ICQ UIDs with the last digits hidden, like yours ( xxx in the end ). Is there a particular reason for not revealing it?
- jhasse 10y agoPasswords weren't very secure back then :P
- khc 10y agobecause low digit ICQ UIDs were for sale at a price and some people stole other people's accounts for profit
- echelon 10y agoWhy is everyone worried about this now?
- antisthenes 10y agoThe 'x's actually appear to him as numbers because it's his UID.
- FlailFast 10y agoHm let me try. 3827Hunter2. Did you just see x's?
- onion2k 10y agoHm let me try. xxxxxxxxxxx. Did you just see x's? Yep

- kayamon 10y agoAlas, while researching this[1] article I discovered that there are no active WebRings still in operation. (the few sites that claim to be working webrings are in fact fake) [1] http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/under-construction/ http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/under-construction/
- kerneis 10y ago« Le webring de la salade » was still active only a couple years ago, and I personnally know some of its members, so I can probably get you into it if you wish. It's quite a niche webring though, and somewhat broken nowadays ;-) http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/j.alglave/salade/ http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/j.alglave/salade/
- mikey_p 10y agoWebring.org is definitely still in operation. Take a look at a site like http://worldlighthouses.yolasite.com http://worldlighthouses.yolasite.com and try the Webring navigation at the bottom.
