For the late 20's/early 30's crowd;

Someone add me on ICQ. My number is 114833269.

Oh god, how do I remember that.

ICQ! I don't remember my number though, lol.

 

[BigJonsson]

Uh oh

 

[Sober]

Thank god I don't remember my ICQ number.

It probably started with a 5 though. maybe.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Ended up using more MSN in the end, but I was on ICQ for awhile.

How the mighty have fallen...

Now it's just Skype, which is more or less MSN messenger anyways.

 

[Roto13]

I think I used ICQ for like five minutes one evening and then never again. MSN Messenger was where it was at.

 

[Sober]

I don't use Skype despite the fact that it migrated all my hotmail contacts. I feel like over time people just used facebook instead. Now I'm just old and I email my friends instead.

 

[krae_man]

That sound though.

"ugh-oh"

 

[Roto13]

Who answers email?

All of my 16 years of MSN contacts are on my Skype list but I only talk to two of them.

 

[Sober]

Who answers email?

Apparently a few of my friends do, so I guess we're all terrible at social media apps and shit.

 

[alienxx45]

That sound though.

"ugh-oh"

Have it as a my text tone. Turns head. They know whats up.

 

[jokkir]

What's ICQ? All I remember is MSN and Asian Avenue

 

[zroid]

the OG!

I never used it. I had it briefly but I was still barely cognizant about the internet at that time.

 

[Quick]

Yo man wats ur AA?

*insets scrolling list of shoutouts*

*insert R&B background music*

 

[Sober]

man fuckin asian avenue, that was some primo generic asian shit back in the day.

pretty sure there was an italian copy of AA as well. can't remember what it was called though.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Guess which line had another problem this morning? The Scarberia line!

Sigh...been a very long week that refuses to end...

 

[Azih]

I had an ICQ. Really low number too. One day I logged in and it just didn't work. I went to the website and I found out it got hacked and disabled as my account had a "Damn Islamist" comment on it. 2001 man.

A/S/L?

 

[Quick]

There were a few. I remember Black Planet being almost a thing.

AA too strong though. Even my non-Asian friends signed up for it.

 

[DopeyFish]

Why belllll whyyyy


Why must your ISP go down?

 

[Eleuin]

I must be too young because I've never even heard of Asian avenue before, disappointed

 

[EvilMario]

I used ICQ and AIM primarily. I even stuck it out with AIM until the mid-2000s because it was the only messaging application my mom would use. I had MSN and Yahoo! Messenger accounts as well though and actually met a few girls through Yahoo! Haha. Used Meebo for a while as well, which was basically just a way to log into my half dozen messenger accounts at once.

IRC was heavily used back in the day as well, for the ZZT community and DorksNet. Google Talk is pretty much the only one I use these days for personal use and Skype for work.

Why belllll whyyyy


Why must your ISP go down?

Yeeeep, massive outage, but appears to be back up for most now. It was quick at least.

 

[Azih]

A lot of people have moved over to Whatsapp, Viber, Snapchat type things for chat. And Twitter, Instagram, Facebook type social media.

I'm really bad at social media.

 

[Azih]

So heads up guys. The people I work with seem kinda desperate for someone to hire for trading floor IT support. Looking for extensive Unix/Linux and SQL skills. It's on the trading floor if Gordon Gecko type of stuff appeals to you.

I wish I could apply to this...

I have no IT skills.

 

[Rinoa]

I had a low ICQ num as well, and I resisted signing up.
AA = totally forgot that existed!

[The Elite]

My ICQ number was eight digits.

It may not have been my first.

I actually remember it.

Thornhill's own Andrew Wiggins named Rookie of the Year!

5 more seasons to go until he comes home. :3

Wiggins going against the NBA star norm and choosing to play in a cold weather city. Does this mean he's #TeamWinter if he signs with the Raptors?

Why would any athlete want to subject themselves to the Toronto media?

 

[Kave_Man]

Why would any athlete want to subject themselves to the Toronto media?

Because it's Toronto BASKETBALL media.

Zero coverage.

 

[Azih]

Because it's Toronto BASKETBALL media.

Zero coverage.

Hyperactive blogs and hysterical fans though.

 

[Anony]

my first ICQ number was 7 digits

I can't believe I repeatedly missed layups in a school gym that an NBA Rookie of the Year played in

You mean like 15-20 seasons, right. When his career is pretty much over and he's coming home for a final season.

 

[mr.rager]

Let's just say they hire a certain type. They had 4 locations in Vancouver and they were always the CBC (Canadian born Chinese) / Vietnamese type. Dyed blonde hair, LV bags and all.

Exact description of my gf looool

Both

Food is OK, girls are pretty cute.

I've seen ABC (american born chinese) porn but never thought to look for CBC.

CRA blunder forces tax deadline extension

Rejoice, procrastinators. This year’s deadline to file income-tax returns has been pushed back by five days because the Canada Revenue Agency issued a bungled notice last week.

thanks bruhs

and yeah, again.
i had a check-up for the aneurysm in my arm they removed last thursday.
doctor noticed there was some built up pressure/blood inside the wound, which he thought was causing me so much pain
so he kept me overnight to cut it open again to drain it
there is less pressure now, since my fingers can move (almost) perfectly again, but because he had to open a wound that was just recently open, it's double the pain basically

 

[Rinoa]

That sounds scary as hell, wishing you a speedy recovery

 

[Fuzzy]

Feels good to have already gotten my money back weeks ago! :<

I made way too much money from investments so I owed a bit which is why I haven't sent it in yet.

I feel like this happened last year too

It was extended last year also but it was because of an issue with the online filing.


Hope you get better soon ahdurian.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I made way too much money from investments so I owed a bit which is why I haven't sent it in yet.

Invested in Coors or burgers?


What the hell, Rinoa. 22? Really? D:

 

[Azih]

Ah. Get better soon ahduriah.

ANOTHER marathon? There was a 10K run two weeks ago!
How many times do these people need to run?

Union Station is closing this weekend, not to mention the Gardiner's shutting down.

Might be better to just hibernate this weekend.
