Deprecated or pointless contact entries on profile settings. - Sally - 06-03-2023

Probably some of you noticed that the forum profile settings has entries to fill contact information for some platforms, like Skype, Discord or Google Hangouts, the last one being no longer useful as Google killed that service (they love doing that) like five months ago and it's not like a lot of people used it before that, there's an ICQ number entry as well, I didn't even knew ICQ existed before that and I know a lot of niche chat platforms, I'd say it's safe to assume that one is of not much use as well.

My suggestion would be that these entries be either removed entirely or renamed so they point to other platforms, such as Matrix, XMPP, or even IRC (lmao) as these are mostly useless right now, should be an easy fix as well. The ICQ entry does not allow input of non-numerical characters by the way.
