The name is an abbreviation for the expression 'I seek You', which can be translated into Russian as 'I'm looking for you'.Ī little later, the owner of ICQ was the Internet giant AOL - already in those days, communication opportunities were valued very highly. Spread it free of charge among all comers - that's why 'ICQ' became very popular. This program for communication developed in Israel several talented programmers who founded the company Mirabilis. However, 'ICQ' (this is how the people call this tool of communication) has been successful so far, millions of people still use it. As a result at the moment, not every user of the global web knows about the ICQ-number and why it is needed at all. Something like this happened with ICQ - once this tool for instant messaging in the online mode was very popular, but gradually appeared different competitors. Does 2003b still work at all? I only found some blog entry from 2018 that said they work, but that's 3 years gone now.In our time, communication systems are developing very quickly - it is difficult to predict which communication tool on the Internet will be in demand, for example, in a year. check your internet connection and try again' blabber. Now, there are two questions: first, if it's encrypted, will I even be able to decrypt it with an ICQ client on my new (or, for icq: some random) PC, or is that only possible on the computer I used back then? Second, I tried to install 'old' ICQ (2003b), but it tries to log in for a minute, then gives me a 'can't establish connection. Anyways, I'd like to read that whole chat history if possible. Well, I know who it is, but was only able to read 2-3 messages because the rest seems to be encrypted - which is weird, because there are encrypted messages both before and after those that I could read, but I digress.

So I just found my old icq account I used throughout my youth (that number is scorched into my brain, and even my old password worked), and found an interesting log with a person I hadn't had contact with in years.
