instant messenger

[FMJGomerPyle]

I'm looking for a new instant messenger program that works with the AOL oscar login and supports all the stuff the real aim has without the ads and other worthless crap. let me know if such a thing exists.

Probably not but there is a way to hack AIM so that you don't get any banner ads. reply to this post if you want to find out how.

 

[Delusion2001]

there are some old posts (like within the last week or so) that show you how to edit aim. it just takes less than a minute. do a search

i want to find out how

Taken from I don't remember where...

Exit AIM completely. Go to your AIM95 directory, open aim.odl in a text
editor. Scroll down to on_group(5) and on_group(11), or just search for
advert. Now comment out the 2 advert lines by using ;, for example:

; load_ocm advert required

Next, rename advert.ocm to advert.bak and restart AIM. Enjoy your ad free
AIM experience.

KICK BUTT!!! Thanks a lot!

Now if there was a way to remove that blank gray area...

Right right.. I remember now, isn't there a way to put a winamp equalizer or some kind of visual display in that space? I remember threads about this a way back. I'm searching through the Winamp site for possible plug ins... any of you have any to recommend?

 

[NeophytexDMD]

yes I have that plugin, it's called AIMazing. Instant message me if you want it, cuz it's hard as hell to find. AIM nick: AcdBr. I can't believe you all haven't heard of this hack yet. of course I discovered it with a friend, but oh well.
