- inanutshellus 2y agoI have the ICQ "Uh OH!" sound in rotation as a text message alert sound for work/support contacts. It's pretty jarring, as y'all know, so it doesn't do to have as the default sound, but it it's great for important contacts that don't message much. Honestly it's a bewildering choice for the default "message received" sound of an IM client. It's so very alarming. I can only guess that the makers were expecting you to be a room away from your tower PC (with its deluxe 18" CRT display and mouse cables that required a screwdriver) to make sure you never missed a message. These days, when you're never more than a layer of fabric away from your IM, it's a bit much. But man, effective.

- mike_hock 2y agoMany moons have passed since the worms went to war. Onwards and upwards! Bigger weapons than before! Boggy B. took cover, he shivered on patrol. The arms race: crazy, simply way out of control.
- jedberg 2y agoMan I gotta say that experience was ruined by the 10 second ad I had to endure ahead of it. I really wish YouTube would just not try to monetize videos that are shorter than the ads.
- noman-land 2y agoNewPipe or uBlock Origin will prevent your experiences from being ruined in the future.
- jedberg 2y agoOh I know I have them installed but my "HN browser" is Safari which doesn't have plugins.
- cschmittiey 2y agowipr works great for safari, even on iOS. don’t know of any free options though. There’s also Vinegar, which makes web YouTube videos play in a native matter with PiP.
- linearrust 2y agoYou beat me to it. As soon as I read the title, I heard it in my mind.
- ornornor 2y agoI tried many times to set this sound as my sms notification sound for nostalgia… and gave up every time. It sounded great on the computer but it’s very jarring and obnoxious on the phone when it runs out of nowhere. Unfortunate because nostalgia
- flkiwi 2y agoThis is my text message tone for a few key family members. It brings me joy on the rare occasions my phone isn’t muted.
- thenaturalist 2y agoI will remember that sound for the rest of my life.

- carmalarm 2y agoDoes anyone know of a good video showing the old ICQ? Something like this for AIM: https://youtu.be/JjbV7FydctM https://youtu.be/JjbV7FydctM I want to add it to https://www.stumbleback.net https://www.stumbleback.net
