For days i’ve been trying to create an account with AIM. My sister had AIM on our old computer (we just got a Dell), and she had the same problem. Whenever I try to create a screenname, a window pops up saying “Sorry, we’re not able to register you right now. Please try again later.” My sister registered by continuing to try to register every day, and after a LONG TIME, it finally let her through. I really don’t want to do what she did, and is there anyone that knows how to have me registered? Also, my sister’s screenname is still current, but she is grounded from using AIM for a long time. I tried to logged onto her account (Automatically typed password), and it said “Sorry, we’re now able to log you in right now. Please try again later.” I do not have AOL, but I have a filtered internet service called “PKFAMILY”, and I don’t know if that has something to do with it. I’ve checked the entire AOL/AIM website for help, but nothing can be found. We’ve somehow gotton AIM to work before, but I really need help now. If you have any idea, please post because I’m getting frustrated at this registration. -Sir Izzy:)
Yeah sometimes AOL has a glitch and they refuse to let you sign up for a new name, I think they block it based on your IP or something, because they don’t want people signing up hundreads of names for one location. Because that used to happen with me. That or AOL’s name creation server may just be down.
One thing you could try is try to use a totally different computer, at a different location to create a name. If not just get someone to create a name for you in your name.
If that doesn’t work, then AOL is having a glitch, in that case you’re just going to have to wait.
