Useless Question of the Day (UQotD):

Hehe, was just wondering, who has the earliest (meaning lowest) ICQ number.

No real reason, but I'm bored :)

Mine is 6176389 (also in my signature).

the lowest ICQ number is 100000 (6 digits)

this reminds me.. people have been selling icq numbers on ebay.. it's funny.. there was a 110XXX 6 digit number selling for $110 with like 15 bidders.. quite interesting..

there is an ICQ# dealer.. i think he probably figures out the passwords to the lower numbers that are abandoned and makes it his own.. :)

I was thinking that someone could do that (although it's most likely illegal...?).

Who would pay for an ICQ number?

Someone who wanted to fool everyone and say they'd joined ICQ when it started! ;)

Mine is 4615273. I got ICQ the very first day it came out for Macs, like over 3 years ago. It's not really low, but it's kind of small ;0

I have no idea why anybody would want to buy an ICQ UIN, but then again, these are the same ebay morons who are paying 800+ bucks for playstation 2's.

Are you reffering to the number of digits or the digit your number began with? ;)

I was reffering to the length. My first one was 3464 ;).

I thought ICQ nums min are at 6 digits... at least you can't search for anyone below 100000.

Now their UINs are like 89283349081092712973837461 and you're supposed to memorize all that?! ;)

I told her about this thread :)

I'd say she wins something, eh?

AnneX wins the title of having a lower ICQ number than me, not sure about others because some people didn't want to post their numbers :)

So they know, I've never gotten an ICQ from anyone because of posting on theses boards, and my number is in my signature... now it might be because I don't post that often, but that's another story.
