What do the flowers mean?

Okay, I'm kinda confused here... (shut up [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

Occaisonally I check to see who is online for whatever reason. Well, why is it that sometimes people have flowers by their names??
Or are they spiders? I can't tell. [img]/images/graemlins/help.gif[/img]

I wonder too.
I was checking my ID and I never see a flower next to my ID...

I think it's a symbol to indicate members with an ICQ number. That's what it looks like anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I used to see Flowers on next to VitaminG's ID a lot by the way.

Toru,

That's what prompted me to post this! The flower next to G's name! [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
But I've noticed it on others too.

Yep, it means the ICQ user is online and in IM or chat mode.

Well, lookie here! I've looked at the User List before to see who's atop the ridiculous post count list, but never checked "Who's Online" before.

Now I feel sheepish... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

What is an ICQ? It sounds like a snowcone. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
But otherwise... groovy! Thanks for the clarification! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: What do the flowers mean?

ICQ (I Seek You) is an online messaging service, like AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger.

You download the software, register your user nick, and then you add your friends to your buddy list. Then can see when your friends (or JCF Buddies) are online, and chat directly to them.

Or you can download Trillian and run all of them (AIM, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo) at once. Which is what I do. Although I very rarely use any of them now. See, I not only have no real life, I don't have much of an online life anymore either. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I had NO idea that all these messaging things existed. And here I thought I was so hip with my Yahoo IM (which I only use to listen to lame music). [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I think I need more friends.
