"Hey guys, has anyone else had a crazy ICQ connection story? I'm talking weird lag, delayed IMs, or those hilarious moments where you're chatting with someone across the globe and their avatar freezes, but their audio still comes through . I've had my fair share of wild rides on ICQ back in the day"

" ICQ Roulette is such a blast from the past. I actually met my old gaming buddy from Russia on ICQ back in 2005 and we still keep in touch to this day. Good times!"

"Yooo, I got a crazy one - back in the early 2000s, I was trying to connect with my buddy on ICQ but kept getting random messages from a girl in Russia. Turns out it was some dude using a hacked account and she was his 'girlfriend' in the convo. Still makes me chuckle"

I had a wild ride connecting to a server in Ukraine for a few months, latency was insane, but the speeds were actually pretty decent. Had to use a few VPN hops just to get the ping down from 300-400ms to around 100ms. Not sure how the admins managed to keep it up, but it was a fun ride while it lasted.
