> ICQ will stop working from June 26
> You can chat with friends in VK Messenger, and with colleagues in VK WorkSpace
Was ICQ like Livejournal, where it had a lot more popularity and staying power in Russia than in the West?

Was ICQ like Livejournal, where it had a lot more popularity and staying power in Russia than in the West?
Here's the announcement: https://vk.com/blog/blog131, the title "VKontakte in ICQ mode" is telling. Oh and the contest Pavel announced at the end of that post? I won that with my shoddy MFC app :P
Fun MSN story: I read you could put curse words in your name subtitle if you used 0x ascii hex codes for one of the characters.
So I pulled up the list of ascii codes and hoped that “beep” would work, but it did not make anyone beep. Then I tried null, and it made all my contacts go offline, and offline again as soon as they logged back in. Again and again. Except myself (can’t remember if that was because I used a 3rd party client aMSN) Hehe. Had people apologize to me for suddenly dropping mid convo.
