Telegram is more convenient and used by a lot of people from the crypto community from what I've seen so It would make more sense to remove ICQ, MSN, AIM, YIM and add it instead. I know some people might suggest adding this to "Other contact info" but what I meant by this is to display a Telegram icon under the avatar like 'Email', 'Private messsage' etc. I realize this is not the best suggestion and It's definitely not a priority, but just a thought.

Although a low priority one, it's actually a good one since two of those (MSN and AIM) discontinued their services and as result, the empty section can be used for "Telegram" instead.

MSN - https://archive.fo/FXknX#selection-1667.0-1767.4
AIM - https://archive.fo/bZdON#selection-841.0-841.108

Since this is directly pointed towards this forum, then perhaps it's better suited in "Meta" section.

Hello Im about to create a new topic regarding the telegram. But I see this post. OmegaStarScream and I have the same suggestion, and I think this is qualified to be implemented in epochtalk. Since ICQ, MSN, AIM, YIM is obsulete why change it into Telegram just like OP said.
the empty section can be used for "Telegram" instead.
It doesn't reflect when I enter my Telegram.

There's some coding change required in the SMF Forum software before it can actually successfully redirect to the entered Telegram address. Currently, it is hard-coded for the previous, now discontinued options.
