My broken english is pretty rusty, but I think I was just threatened

On ICQ no less. That ought to narrow down the suspects to about a dozen. :) Anybody still use ICQ out there?

I still remember my ICQ number, if that counts ;) Been years since I used it.

Sure it does. I remember mine because people (mostly russians) keep trying to steal it.

I do, but it definately wasn't me. I haven't gotten spam from ICQ is ages.

heh, I didn't mean to label my fellow LJ'ers as suspects. Just wondering if anyone still used it. I dug out my acct info after I installed Pidgin, figuring "why not". It's pretty quiet on there!

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

It's very quiet.}:P But then, so's my AIM. LOL

Yep. Mine's one of the very few "long string of numbers" I've managed to memorize over my lifetime.

I've long since ditched ICQ proper (when I revisited it a few years ago, it had become this really nasty invasive AOL-driven mess). Go Trillian! But ICQ was the first thing I ever used for instant messaging...I guess around 1995/96 or so.

I haven't seen that thing in years (and I left the Russian mafia years before that, so it couldn't have been me). The message sounds like it was entered into a translater, worse than broken english. I like the name, Ivanutu Fukov, very creative. - Удачного дня!
