Module 2 - ICQ

I thought this task was going to be simple, entering the ICQ site and searching for "advanced netstudies" as a nickname. Easy Peasy. Not.

Search Results for:
ICQ Users, Nickname advanced netstudies
Sorry, we could not find any matches

Well, I went to the Module 2-Self Test and entered all the ICQ numbers they had as options and finally found it, ICQ#257853416. The person did indeed have "advanced netstudies" as a nickname, but either the ICQ site is having trouble matching its searches or my browser is playing tricks on me?

I tend to use SMS or Skype for communicating with my friends(mostly abroad), so I am not a regular in "chat rooms". ICQ's average user is connected 5 hours or more(!) a day and is between 13-29 years old, and I don't fit it to that criteria (except for while taking this course, it seems like I might actually fit in to the first one at the moment..).
