This has been discussed before numerous times... A few reasons why short ICQ UIN's are great:

Admins and hosting support would do better by their customers if they had easy to remember ICQ UIN's.

Also, having a short UIN is just like having an easy to remember phone number, in internet terms.

On another note, it creates the illusion that you've been around a long time, the shorter your number is.

At the end of the day it's a novelty like a custom number plate on your car, you want it because not a lot of people have it.

I think this applies to easy to remember domain names and portal usernames as well.
