For those who use AIM, should we have a subforum for AIM stuff and tips only in the Computer forum? Make your vote count!

PM if you have any questions!

As for those who hate AIM, I don't care! I want this to be fun and not be a source of backstabbing and flaming. It's supposed to be fun and educational! If you post such negative reply against using AIM or act as PRO-otherbrandofinstantmessengerist, I will politely request the mods to remove your post! Thank you for your consideration! :D
 
It would be a good idea if it was a long term thing. AIM is always changing so this sounds like a short term thing. I'm also a Trillian Pro user and won't have much use for AIM advice since Trillian provides more than AIM does.
 
How long will Trillian last anyway? MSN is already cutting access to Trillian next week. Who knows if other services will follow suit. As for short term or long term, I have been on Original Icons forum for a very long time and it is still there! I would like to see one, an AIM forum, made for the Deaf peeps.

Each version is when they beat the system. Some versions are improvements and/or upgrades. From January 2002 to February 2002, AIM constantly tried to block Trillian, but Trillian beat them every time. I also like skins features as well as groups in groups feature. I can even chat while being away at the same time. With AIM, I can only hold up to 12 boxes at their smallest size on the monitor without overlapping them. My current skin for my Trillian allows me to have 30 boxes without overlapping them. In fact, I don't even have to worry about overlapping since they snap to each other making perfect alignment. I love Trillian!
 
This just remind me of the Netscape situation. (I'm referring to the Trillian situation)
