10 Reasons to uninstall AIM, and free your life from the chains of internet communication.

10. People's profiles. Always a series of dumb inside jokes, crappy song lyrics, and links to a person's online journal whose name you can barely remember.

9. Sending files. Never goes above 4kbps.

8. AIM viruses.

7. A new update practically once a week, that fixes none of the problems.

6. Now it tells you when people are typing, which makes you have to wait for other people to finish typing
before you can finish a goddamn thought.

5. Stupid AIM games that people try to connect to you and play.

4. That stupid new alert window thing that comes up. Do I give a s*** if a kid in my calc class is idle? No.

3. Girl's horrible choice of screen names. They make me vomit. Girl's SNs are always like SeXyCuTiEBabYGrRRRRrrLL6969, or SoCcErChIcK, or some other annoying name. They always have the alternating lower case and capital letters like they were having a seizure while holding Caps Lock.

2. Annoying ads. First they were just gif ads, then they were moving gifs, then moving gifs with audio (that you could turn off), then moving gifs with audio that you can't turn off. Oh wow, Joan of Arcadia is on tonight? Blow me, I don't care.

1. Mother****ing Away Messages, the root of all evil. What's the point of leaving the damn thing on all day if you aren't going to use it?
 
#6 is so true, but I like the feature.

#1: I leave it on to accept messages like voicemail would... and it works great that way.

#3: tha'ts only true if you actually know some 13 year old girls...

I use trillian so most of the other annoyances don't bother me.

10. Get friends that don't suck.
9. That's a problem on your end, brother.
8. Never had a problem. Maybe you should be using better AV software?
7. Turn of the update notifications/get DeadAIM.
6. That's a problem inside your head.
5 See 10.
4. Turn it off, not that hard.
3. See 10 / be grateful you know females.
2. Get DeadAIM.
1. Do you have an answering machine? What's the big problem here? Can't stand that awful 6x6 pixel yellow notepad?

I like my reply better, but this'll work too 😀
 
While the list is absolutely true, it completely lacks humor.

Analogy (so you understand why it's not funny)

Reasons not to go to Africa on vacation:
1. Ebola
2. Civil Wars
3. Internet scammers who threaten your life
4. kidnappings
... you get the idea. True, but not funny.
 
404: Teh funnay not found.

Seriously, though, between AIM's config options, and DeadAIM/Aim+/etc, none of those are issues. Unless, of course, your friends suck. Or you are going out with a 13 year old girl. But I dont think you can blame a computer program for the fact that your friends suck. Nor can you put the blame on those 13 year old girls you try to pick up in AOL chatrooms.

I am forced to conclude that the author of this list sucks, and is pissed at a computer program for revealing that to him.
 
I am horribly guilty of #1...my away message is on probably about 90% of the day, if not higher. Most of the time it always the default 😱
