I have just recently found out that AIM is finally shutting down on December 15th, 2017. I know quite a number of you who used AIM in the past. While it isn't necessarily important; there are probably still survivors who still use AIM to this day.
Remarkably, I didn't think AIM was still alive all this time. Feel free to provide any eulogy or comment if you were an avid AIM user. ;)

P.S.: I have never used AIM to this day, but known a lot of people who did.

lol, i remember AIM.
| |
God damn it. i still use AIM to this day : /
it's very important | |
Skype has been dead.
I miss MSN. MSN was the tits, especially when you modded it with custom themes and plugins. | |
how will lummox talk to people now
| |
bring back blogs
| |
AIM will always be my favorite chat client. I hated MSN and Skype. Get off my lawn.
(Discord is pretty cool. I'm OK with that being the new dominant chat program.) | |
Yeah, Skype was godawful. I'm glad to see Skype falling out of relevancy. Discord is pretty fucking awesome, though.
| |
Tom and I used to rely on AIM to communicate during the workday. Or more accurately I used Pidgin, which was a much better client.
| |
++ for Pidgin. Once everybody started moving on from AIM I moved to Trillian so I didn't have to download a whole bunch of bloat, but I used Pidgin for a little too.
| |
I don't recall if I tried Trillian. I remember trying Miranda and not liking it.
| |
I hear lots of good things about pidgin.
| |
Never really used AIM, though I do still have an ICQ account :P
| |
actually my foremost pridiction is that north america is going to standardize a space age, Australia is going to reform and the UK isn't budging (elizabethan renaissance) which i slike a tourist attraction, which means the last twentyh years have been a trippy nightmare... *violin

But I probably haven't used it since 2002. I never really looked back when MSN started getting more popular. At one point all my same friends were always online with both AIM and MSN. But everyone I knew inexorably made a slow switch and after a while it wasn't worth signing in to it anymore. Probably because MSN worked better with webcams.
