MemberWhich method do you use or prefer to use when signing on with multiple screen names, cloning or screen name linking?

MemberAOL’s screen name linking is retarded, Just as the entire corporation is.
Cloning if I need to be on both.

MemberYes, linking is bad. And even the buttons used to have diffrent buddylists suck. Like I have said before, AOL needs to scrap AIM entirely and start from scratch. Maybe they could end up somewhere along the lines of where MSN is.

ParticipantQuote:quote:Maybe they could end up somewhere along the lines of where MSN is.I agree, maybe not start all over–because the simplicity of AIM is appealing to me, but at least give us bigger buddy icons
>:(Personally I didn’t like linking (I have so many names they didn’t fit on one email account, so I ended up with two buddy lists anyhow) So cloning is what I got for now.
*edit* smilie was all askew =p

MemberWith screen name linking, you lack the capability of entering chat rooms, which is one of the problems. Another is that the linked SNs don’t take their formatting changes as they would if they were signed on as a primary SN, ie. my SN, Sprmn954 would be signed on without the capital S in the beginning.
With AIM cloning, you get a complete copy of the AIM program.May 5, 2004 at 8:58 pm #49316xmudvaynegurlx
Memberwhich AIM cloning do you guys think is the best/easiest to use? and your right, linking screen names dont work like i’d like them too….

MemberI have found that AIMutation (an addon that has cloning) is the best and easiest to use. Plus, its free! http://www.aimutation.com
But you might want to wait for otsego which supposedly comes out this week in beta form.

MemberThey Shouldent Necessarily Take “Linking” Away, But They Could Improve It By…. Possibly making tabs where you can sign on any screenname you want without having it permanitly linked together…
