Regular AIM = spyware AFAIK. I don't mind the ads so much, but spyware = no go for me.

just install it, save your buddy list and never use it again

thats the only reason I have it installed

Same thing happened to my brother. He was sending me a lot of files across AIM, so I don't know if that may have caused his suspension. Maybe?

Your buddy list is stored somewhere on your PC. Or at least the older version stored it.

THe spyware comes with the install, not AIM itself. It's WildTangent, AFAIK.

Don't install AOL Games and you won't get WildTangent.

[imported_Papi]

did you try to download trilliam or Gaim. sometimes AIM wont let me log on. tells my my list is temp. unavail. and it tells me that there might be a chance i might lose my contacts.

i can however log on using trillian. and all my buddies are there. i dont have to reload them.

I think it is stored on their server?

I would say ICQ like some of the others, but AOL owns that now too. Fvck AOL.

Aol owns Netscape... does that mean it technically owns Mozilla and hence Firefox?

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Aim\dxifbffi\screen name\userinfo.bag

It isn't in a very nice format but all the screen name are in plan text.

Reasons

Your Screen Name is blocked from signing in to the AIM service.
Your Screen Name is blocked from signing in to the AIM service. There are several reasons why you may have received this message:
Screen Names that were previously used on AOL but have been cancelled or suspended, can no longer be used on AIM. This includes both master accounts and sub-accounts. In order to continue using this Screen Name on AIM, please reactivate the account on AOL.


AOL Screen Names that have one or more of the following Parental Controls set will no longer able to use AIM, even if they have previously been able to do so:
- Instant Messages are Blocked.
- Kid's Only age category.

To access AIM, the Master Screen Name on the AOL account must go to AOL Keyword: Parental Controls and change the above settings for this Screen Name. In addition, your Screen Name must also be set to one of the following age categories: Young Teen, Mature Teen, or General (18+).


Users who identify themselves as a child under the age of 13 may not use this service at this time. If you are an adult and have entered your birth date incorrectly, you may use a credit card to complete our age verification process now, or anytime within 30 days of the date when you identified yourself as a child. You will not be charged for this credit card verification.

Click here to sign in to our age verification form to reactivate your Screen Name.


An account may be terminated for violations of the terms of service.

I created my name on aol way back in 97 while I was a member. It's been about 5 years since I stopped using aol, so this came as quite a shock. The only way to get back my name would be to sign up for aol again. Wow, what a bunch of blackmailers.

ICQ used to Rock, but now sucks because of bloatware and the fact that no one uses it.

Use the Miranda client instead of the ICQ client. Miranda looks like ICQ98b.
