So i have my AIM name Digitalsnare and it is linked to my other one, bernier87, neither of which have EVER had to do with an AOL screen name, and all of a sudden today, AIM will not let me sign on as Digitalsnare. Like, it would be fine if I could only sign on and save my buddy list and that, beacuse i have a bunch of ppl I added that I wont be able to talk to again, cause they are only on my Digitalsnare buddy list. Is there some way I can contact AOL or something about this?

You're screwed. This has been becoming a fairly commonplace thing, and nobody's quite sure why. My guess is that AOL is running out of money and resources to spend on AIM and are trying to cut users who put a high load on the servers.

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

I thought I got AIM banned once, turned out I had just been signed on somewhere else for a looong time and after so long, it got pissed and wouldn't let me double-sign on anymore. Make sure you're not signed on somewhere else.

it only bothers me cause I have like 200 contacts I talk to regulraly, and I dont remember half of them, so its really hard to build a new buddy list
