i was looking through our member list and noticed, that I have one of, or the oldest ICQ account here..
I haven't actually used my account in a while, but it is still active as far as i know..
does anyone have an account older than mine?
34917705
just curious for nostalgia reasons, it used to be my only mode of communication online 
I've never even used ICQ... is it good?

IMO, it is the best, but.. it also holds a lot of history i am not willing to dredge up ATM 
it has all the perks all the others have, and more..
sadly, all i use now is msn messenger, a shadow of ICQ
[addsig]ICQ was great when I used to use it due to the fact everyone else did too. Now that everyone is using MSN, it seems pointless. Its chock full of pointless features and is much slower than MSN (or was last I checked).
Anyway, I never use it, but my number is 28651662 (wierd I still remember that by heart!)...so I beat you Orph 
I used to use ICQ alot cos I know quite a few people on it but now they all use msn si I use that as well I also preffer msn cos it loads a lot quicker and unless ICQ have put it in then msn is the only one i know that lets you have audio conversations and also lets you use your webcam with it.
Heres my ICQ number 113497846.
[EDIT] I did have a older one but I couldnt remember the password for it.

through some fluke of nature, i can remember almost any number that i have memorized.. i do indeed remember my ICQ number, and many more..
i remember telephone numbers we had when i was a child, social security numbers of 1/2 my family, and addresses from childhood.
i have so many numbers in my noggin, i have trouble differentiating them sometimes..
call it blessing, or curse.. cause i have :/

I can remember most phone numbers and stuff. Not addresses though, usually just phone numbers and maybe ID numbers and all that. I thought lots of people could do it 
Oh. Yeah. ICQ. 174268442, so I'm a lot newer to it than you guys
i got my ICQ number, sometime in 1999..
fragman, i am not talking about memorizing numbers you use daily, i am talking about numbers from 30-35 years ago, no longer needed or use to my knowledge.. addresses from the same age as well..
to recall them after more than a quarter century is... unusual
in my experience, people i tell this to can remember less than a few years worth of numbers.

| I don't know about a quarter century, but some numbers from maybe 10 years or so I can remember quite well. Doesn't matter too much I suppose. |
well, i find it unique.. your ability is not as common as you may think.. 10 years is on the low side, but you are not very old yet neither.. still i remember phone numbers from age 12, and addresses from age 6 or 7.. so how old you are is not nearly as important as, how early you can retrieve them from
10 years, is no small feat, when you considre how old you were 10 years ago.

other than a few instances, the people i brought with me from prefabland are all i knew prior to coming here.. in essence it was square #1 for me, but in truth, i was here (according to my join date) about 4 days after its debut.
i knew 100's of people while fragging, but damned few came to snarkpit.. in fact, i know more here, who knew the same people i did, but never met during a frag 
we all traveled the same exact circles, yet were on another portion of it while doing so.
i believe, the only member here who not only joined before me, but i knew him prior.. was supercrazy.. i critiqued a couple maps for him, now he is my master at the craft.. time sure does slip away
I used ICQ once, to communicate with the rest of some mod that I had joined. Wasn't too useful though anyway.

Mine was 2649935, although I haven't used it in a long time.
Orph, I think we met through Snark Pit, didn't we? I think the first map you helped me with was my third, and my first two were both reviewed here.

*scratches chin*
dunno, i was sure we met before.. but it doesn't really matter i suppose.
i helped you on prolly only 2 maps, after that you were pretty much my better at it
if you were good about your text file credits you could always check and see if/when i helped you, assuming you were like me and dated the page.
still, time sure has slipped past hasn't it
[edit] lets assume map #3 was the first.. you released it 7/18/01 , and i joined snarkpit on 8/26/01..
without loading the maps i cannot truthfully say, but i would recognize the first.. it had those funny lifts that showed thru at the top
I think our reg dates are from whenever Lep switched over to his fancy PHP stuff for the first time, the site and forums were around before that.
That's my third map, it's the only one I remember having lifts. You were credited in the texts for my third and fourth maps.
And yes, time really has gone fast. I wonder how many of our current members remember a time when this site actually posted reviews.
