I loved ICQ! I'm sure some people thought it was a horrible idea to see people type in real time but to me it was peak messenging.

I loved ICQ too at the time, but I'm not giving up End-To-End encrypted messaging for copyright stealing ICQ.

“You agree that by posting any material or information anywhere on the ICQ Services and Information you surrender your copyright and any other proprietary right in the posted material or information. You further agree that ICQ Inc. is entitled to use at its own discretion any of the posted material or information in any manner it deems fit, including, but not limited to, publishing the material or distributing it.”

But I'm totally okay to see ICQ brought back as a "skin" for the matrix-protocol. Something that looks, sounds and works like ICQ, but is based on modern communications technology.
