ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

You probably mean Comic Chat. It was actually just an IRC client, and I think it's still usable (but frustratingly ineffective) today. But there is a website where you can convert IRC logs to it, I think.

Yes, that's the one! Boy, it's been a long time.
