I am now on MSN instead of ICQ. My MSN username can be found in my ICQ profile, or you can contact me at my personal email address to get it. If you don't know my personal email address, this message is not intended for you.

I want to make it perfectly clear that this was NOT my idea. I'm not the kind of person to abandon a perfectly good instant messenging platform, especially a pioneer like ICQ, just because some corporate behemoth has become trendier. However, all the most important people, the ones who merited alerts when they came online and who got to see me when I was in invisible mode, they all abandoned me and went to MSN, so I must either begrudgingly follow them or spend my days staring at a dead contact list.
