<h3>History</h3>
</div>
<div class="taskboxtext">
<p>When it was released in 1996 by a company called Mirabilis, ICQ was the first real popular Instant Messaging service. In 1998, AOL bought Mirabilis and later made the ICQ protocol more similar to the AIM protocol.</p>
<p>In 2010, AOL sold ICQ to the proprietors of Mail.ru. The new owners changed the login server address to login.icq.com; 1.4.1 is the first version of Adium to use the new address by default, but older versions can be reconfigured by double-clicking on each ICQ account in the Preferences window and changing each account's Login Server in the Options tab.</p>

<h3>Censorship</h3>
</div>
<div class="taskboxtext">
<p>ICQ servers filter strings containing &#60;script, a tag in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which AIM and ICQ use to encode messages (so as to support fonts, colors, etc.).</p>
<p>HTML tags that you put into the inputline are “escaped” by Adium, so that the recipient's client will not attempt to use the HTML tag; it will simply display the text of the tag. However, it appears that the AIM/ICQ server drops messages containing even escaped HTML (but only that tag — other tags work fine).</p>
