 AF> Several days ago I've seen one video at YouTube about ICQ revival project
 AF> called KICQ. Some enthusiasts use their servers for connection by OSCAR
 AF> protocol. So, if you have an old gadget which doesn't support New ICQ by
 AF> Mail.ru, you can register new UIN at their server (195.66.114.37:5190) and
 AF> log in using old clients like ICQ 2003, QIP 2005 etc. 

 AF> After watching that video I decided to try it out. I installed ICQ 2003b
 AF> on my WinXP virtual machine as it described at manual
 AF> (http://narodweb.ru/kicq.html) and registration was easy. Later I
 AF> installed old Kopete from KDE3 on my Raspberry Pi 2 and successfully
 AF> logged in. 

I miss the old ICQ as it was in its heyday.  One feature I think they removed in newer versions was the user profile and random user search feature.  I had contacts around the world on there I used to chat with.
