Short ICQ numbers... - GoFuckYourself.com

haggard · 01-30-2003, 12:29 AM

why does everyone want or need to get a short icq number? what's so unique about it? why would someone buy one?

just some questions i have about that topic.

goBigtime · 01-30-2003, 12:33 AM

I sale short ICQ uins

dlex · 01-30-2003, 12:34 AM

133458 is much better that 133458768

if you were telling someone on the fly I would much rather have the smaller one...

Really makes me wish I'd held onto more of my short ICQ numbers. Lowest one I've got is in the 300,000's

Dreamman010 · 01-30-2003, 03:19 AM

111333 is mine but I use a different one as a primary number. It's really convenient to tell to people when you're rushing somewhere.

I keep getting people asking to buy it, but I won't sell it for any price

Actually short ICQ numbers receive less spam.

I have two. One short one that gets maybe 1 spam a month and a new one that gets many spams each day.

Hugs,
Danielle

i asked someone the same question, he replied that with a
short uin# ppl will think he's been around for a long time and guess him to be older then he really is !

I can sell 5-digits and 6-digits icq numbers (54444 and 211111 for example). Icq 144000 for contacts.

Bullshit. It is really for people who are nobody to pretend they are somebody cause they have a low icq number.

Who has to remember shit with cut and paste?

Hope this helps.

Well... I just happened to register on ICQ when the digits were low.. dunno why someone would buy a short number though.

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.

Indeed sir, but I don't think I'm famous just because of it. No body actually gives a fuck that I have a "lower" ICQ number

it truly is a cause for celebration - embrace your destiny.

there are only 900k of us 6 digit legends - it is up to us to decide the fate of the other 4324823942938 icqers.

there can be only one.
