Back in the days before smartphones, when people were still messaging from their PCs like dirty cavemen, I’ve gone trough a lot of messenging apps, but this Jabber client called AQQ was my favourite. Community created plugin-ins with extra functionalities and skins that could completely change its look, so the below are examples:
(one of the first apps I remember that embraced the dark themes, though there were all kinds of them, including light and pink…)
It supported multiple networks simultaneously, something that doesn’t happen nowadays.
Like all of those apps, in the end, it lost to Facebook messages.
EDIT: only now I noticed the second part of the question - “… and rejoined”. Sorry, I’m stoned. In this comment branch we name the ones we’re just sorry they’re gone ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Haaaa! I haven’t heard about Jabber in waaay too long. Thanks for the memories.
Ah, multiple networks. I remember using Miranda IM to connect to ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Chat, AIM, Jabber, and Google Chat (when they used XMPP).
