ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

She told me she talked to a guy who just wanted to talk about WoW and his favourite Linux distro. She gave up when he didn't make a move and decided to look for a real man. Was that you?

Would have been WoW and Star Trek if it was me.

Is she single?
