Used to have it before i had IRC. Now its pretty redundant as everyone i'd have on my ICQ list is in an irc room :/

Yeh Wireplay 2.30 chat rooms are the first thing I remember. Didn't it used to be compulsory to meet in one before a match in the really early leagues? I'm sure it was in the season 1 or 2 rules or maybe the ladder.

Still use ICQ when I remember, not the chat-rooms though. Mostly useful cos you can send a message when people are offline. Used to use it a lot with UO and planetarion back when it was new, had a couple of hundred contacts. Dont play them anymore so now I've got about 12 and I only know who half of them are. Pants.

lol, CSC used the WP2.3 chatrooms too, until me and Nicksta convinced them all to install MICR, and the thing kept messing up with my account so I had to keep adding an extra z to my name. Ended up with Razzzzzzzz at one stage.

As for ICQ, I reinstalled it a week or so ago now and it's still as crap as ever ;P

It's sooooo much better than anything else.

MSN for a start has more security holes than a piece of cheese with lots of security holes in.

And sendnig free sms to friends. when it works, but the msgs can take a long time for the person to recieve lol

ROFL, ICQ :P

Meeting for matches and praccys always turned into a "beep beep" free for all :P

was it ICQ that had the "knock knock" sound when someone came online?

also mentioned in this thread - the homewrecker and friendship destroyer! PLANETARION, roff roff! :D :D *memories!*
