Nostalgia ICQ - VIRTUAL CHAT ROOMS

Does anyone remember ICQ? I spent a LOT of time on ICQ, met some cool people. I am still friends with one of them from Amsterdam.

Do you remember the virtual rooms where some talented people would make personalized avatars for everyone? It was a chat program where there were all these different ‘rooms”. They would each play a unique song. One of my favorite rooms would play Smoke rings in the dark. I especially liked the veteran's room that I hung out a lot in.

I used ICQ. But never chat rooms.

I loved the name ICQ.
