Comment (by xoagray at gmail.com):

 Found this on the Pidgin website, thought it would be a good idea to post
 here.

 Suddenly we started seeing reports about ICQ no longer working in #pidgin.
 Upon investigation we discovered that apparently the client ID has been
 "retired", and any logins from that client ID are immediately met with a
 message from the server demanding an upgrade to ICQ6. The server then
 forcibly disconnects us. We catch this error and display a somewhat
 different message instructing our users to go to pidgin.im to get an
 update.

 Stu Tomlinson found the version identification information for the most
 current official ICQ client and changed our identification. Magically
 logging in and holding a conversation works. This patch became the reason
 for the release of Pidgin 2.4.3.

 Thank you
