DexX September 15, 2001 10:06 AM	Is it true that Bunnerabb is so old that his ICQ number is 6?
Post #15630	link

attitudechicka September 15, 2001 10:54 AM	I've already posted it once, but I'll post it again: 79194228. Eventually I hope to chance the user info, but right now it always comes up with some fatal error that I don't understand how to fix.

DexX September 15, 2001 11:57 AM	I think I had a six-digit, but I never used it. That was back in the days of hyper-sensitive idle dropouts, so I just left ICQ sitting there pinging its server and making my ISP think I was doing something. Then one day I found out it was actually useful, but by then I had downloaded a dedicated ping program, and I had to get a new ICQ UIN. It is eight digits, but low eight digits: 10419916

ObiJo September 15, 2001 3:08 PM	Mine is 121415891. Though I usually am on AIM instead: OlyDuVo I have no damn idea how I come up with these names. Love to hear from any of you.

That's pretty much my story, except that my second ICQ UIN is 7 digits, so I'm still more l33t than you are.

But the first one is 221304. And it's still listed in the directory. I just can't use it 'cause I forgot the password. And it's not 'wirthling'.

ladyjdotnet September 16, 2001 6:06 PM	ok. Gabe's more l33t than all of us.

gabe_billings September 17, 2001 1:49 PM	quote: I don't know my ICQ-Do u find it through a test or something? Yeah. It's a pain in the ass, though. There's this form you have to fill out and mail in, and it takes like 4 to 6 weeks to get a response. And that's if they can track it down.
Post #16241	link

habnem September 23, 2001 2:03 AM	my UIN's changed, as reflected in my sig. gabe: i just went to icq.com, and there's a "lost password" function there...

DexX September 23, 2001 4:56 AM	Uh... did you know you can keep your UIN but change your name?

Yeah, I know. The earlier silly post was just because it was Deisel asking the question and it didn't seem fair to give him the right answer.

And the other sucky part is for a lost password, they mail it to the email address they have on file, which unfortunately is about four email addresses ago.

DexX September 23, 2001 9:00 AM	That was directed at habnem - I was talking to him on ICQ when he changed over, but it didn't occur to me to ask at that point.

kramer_vs_kramer September 23, 2001 1:12 PM	I'm 11227017 in the unlikely event of anyone being interested.

andydougan September 23, 2001 1:36 PM	I used to have an ICQ number, but when I "upgraded" to this new computer I decided that installing ICQ with Windoze ME is asking for trouble. ME has enough trouble with AIM.
Post #17906	link

habnem September 23, 2001 2:46 PM	DexX: i know that, actually, but it wouldn't be fair to my fiancee, who now has the old UIN to herself (:

September 23, 2001 8:11 PM

Aaaahhh... fair enough, habnem.

Dontcha hate ot when a married/living-together couple you know uses one ICQ/AIM/whatever ID for both of them? Worse than that, my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew all used one for a while, too. Damn that was confusing, not least of which because all three were three-toed sloths on the keyboard, so I would say, "Who's this, by the way?" and get a garbled mistyped mess in reply about twenty minutes later...

andydougan September 23, 2001 8:17 PM	If I had a significant ICQ number, like 42, 666 or 1337, it'd be the first thing I'd tell everyone I met.
Post #17974	link

DexX September 23, 2001 8:32 PM	It'd be about the only significant thing about you... Sorry, is this in the wrong forum? :)

Post #17995	link

DexX September 23, 2001 9:07 PM	Cheese-encrusted? Time for your annual bath, is it? Oh, so we should stop this then?
Post #17996	link

andydougan September 23, 2001 9:15 PM	Hang on, that's not cheese. That's the gonnorrhea I caught off your wife. We probably should, yes.
Post #17998	link

DexX September 23, 2001 9:34 PM	No, you must be confused - that six-foot-five "woman" with the hairy chest and blonde wig who fucked you up the arse behind the pub at 3am wasn't my wife. Yeah, we should definitely stop.
Post #18000	link

andydougan September 23, 2001 9:40 PM	Oh, right. So when she introduced herself as "Mrs DexX" she meant she was your mother? I agree. This nonsense has gone on long enough.
Post #18001	link

DexX September 23, 2001 9:46 PM	No, you probably misheard - I bet it was "Mrs Dick". Absolutely, it's gone on overlong, in my opinion.
Post #18002	link

andydougan September 23, 2001 9:53 PM	That'll be it. You're always getting mistaken for a dick. It must be the semen that keeps dripping out your mouth. So we're unanimous. We should stop this right now.
Post #18003	link

andydougan September 23, 2001 10:21 PM	Okay, that was a bit contrived. You win.
Post #18006	link

DexX September 23, 2001 10:39 PM	Not as contrived as the excuses your mother made up to explain how she got pregnant with you, considering your dad is gay... oh, how we laughed... Sorry, I know I should have stopped, but I liked that one too much to not post it.
Post #18011	link

andydougan September 23, 2001 10:47 PM	quote: Sorry, I know I should have stopped, but I liked that one too much to not post it. You mean "not to post it". Don't split infinitives. Where were you when they were handing out brains? Anyway, back to the thread.
Post #18012	link

DexX September 23, 2001 11:00 PM	What split infinitive? I can't see an adverb there. Look at it this way: "I liked that one too much to [verb phrase]." "Post it" is a verb phrase, and the prepending of a "not" negates it. "Not post it" is as much a sverb phrase as "post it". So nyaaaahhh... :P

"Post it" is a verb phrase, and the prepending of a "not" negates it. "Not post it" is as much a sverb phrase as "post it". So nyaaaahhh... :P

"Post it" is a small yellow piece of paper with one sticky edge, thus another noun has become a verb. One can avoid accusations of splitting the infinitive by moving the "not" one way or another. Take a flower and try it out ...

She posts it.
She posts it not.
She posts it.
She posts it not.

DexX September 24, 2001 11:52 AM	Incidentally, we should set up a voice chat on Yahoo! Messenger some time. I did a bit of that tonight, and it was a lot of fun. The fact that I was invited by a belligerent Scots friend of mine certainly helped, I must admit. No, not Andy, but one of his fellow Glaswegians. Lotsa fun.
