I share the feeling. I too am in my mid-thirties, still know my ICQ number by heart (8 digits by the way), was on IRC and used Facebook in the early days.
Nowadays I often wonder if my sentimental feeling about the social networks of yesterday is just a function of me getting old.
The world changes. It is probably neither better nor worse. It’s just different.
- OrgNet 8y agoI had a 6 digit ICQ number and I'm about the same age... someone deleted my account using my unlocked computer and I was never able to get it back...

- snvzz 8y ago>someone deleted my account using my unlocked computer Strikes me as insane that they'd allow account deletion without entering password for confirmation. Also, what an asshole, whoever did that to you.
- OrgNet 8y agoShe did worst... but I got her back, somewhat. I just wish that ICQ would have been willing to undelete my account. BTW, at that time, almost noone required passwords to make major changes to your account if you were logged in.
- chipx86 8y agoSomeone got mine (298387 -- I'll never forget) through a security flaw that they temporarily had. The attacker tried selling it back to me for $1000. Loved the low number, but didn't use it anymore outside of testing Gaim (used to be a developer on that), so.. RIP 298387.
