Do you use the AIM 'invisible mode' feature ?

[bmacd]

it seems a handful of my contacts are 'offline', but when you check their profile or send them a message, they're online. The option isn't available to me since i use Trillian (2.0 pro), but if you use AIM, are you set to 'invisible mode' ?

Just block people on their buddy list only, not instant message.
It just makes AIM into a one-way street, mostly. You must initiate conversation.

HELL YAH! using it now with deadaim. I hate being messaged by people right when i sign on. So i sign on and click the offline eye button.

 

[rev02]

hah.. i am never messaged by anyone. so, i never have a reason to use it.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Nope. People want talk to me, cool. People I don't like want to talk to me, I block them. Simple. Why would you be on AIM if you didn't want to talk with people?

 

[PoPPeR]

normally if i dont want to talk to someone i just leave their IM window up (tabbed windows) and ignore it so I don't get bothered by a bunch of random noises when they say "hello? HELLO? YOU THERE? HELLOOOOOOOO?!?!?"

Then before i go to sleep i just say "oh hey sorry i wasn't around, blahb alh blah"

Damn no, because it's totally lame. Do you tell the phone company to not accept incoming calls?

I like to switch back and forth between visible and invisible mode a bunch of times when I'm bored.

I use Trillian, so no. If I don't want to talk to you, I won't to talk to anyone else either -and you'll know it.
