So, I've just installed AIM (via Trillian)...

Well, joining a chatroom gives me tons of spam messages involving webcam girls and furry animals, just turning on the client makes a ~15-16 y.o. girl IM me radom psychobabble every once in a while.
Most users have nicknames consisting of ranom letters and numbers like AW259fgh95g or asdgj2uftzv65hb. Communicating with them seems impossible, since they speak some extraterrestrial mutation of AOLspeek, which is even below the OMGHI2U level.
I don't see how typing 'I is wet lolzorz 15F/M' in flashing letters every five seconds would make someone a desirable chat partner.

Is there a trick to using AIM I don't get?

Um, not trolling AOL chat rooms looking for pussy would be a good start?

15F/M ??

They're 15 years old and Female and Male?

You arent 13, horny, and dumb. You do need at least 2 of those to understand AOL.

You can try Yahoo Chat rooms, I think they're better.

I had always thought that AIM was a messenger/chat program, not a failed cornucopia of promises of cheap profane entertainment. I guess I was wrong.

Uh, AIM is (A)OL (I)nstant (M)essenger. It has nothing to do with chat rooms.

But the people who randomly IM me are at the same intellectual level as their friends in the chatrooms. Since I talk to my friends via MSN, I've decided that I will look into the 'rich features' (as advertised) of AIM. I see no reason to use it instead of another IM program.
