Does anyone have any special AIM Tricks they do? They can be useful or just fun, and can be anything. I’ve got one to start off…
The Away Message Trick
This can be useful for getting back at people. When they click the link, an away message comes up that says something of your choice.First, click hyperlink. In hyperlink URL, type “aim:goaway?message=” After the =, type what you want the message to say.
Next, put something in the Hyperlink text area.
Good luck.

SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!!!

So they say “Uh, that was stupid” and close the away message….woo.
Use the search function to find some ‘neat tricks’.

June 9, 2004 at 7:17 pm #43981kai wrenMembertaking yourself off other peoples’ buddy lists no longer works. aol took out the feature
June 9, 2004 at 9:49 pm #43984XeonMemberOn AIM 5.5 there is a cool trick. Just use Link Text, and the URL will load inside the instant message window.
June 11, 2004 at 12:08 am #43982kai wrenMemberYou can talk while signed off if you direct connect with your buddy, and then sign off AIM (but don’t close the program or the IM window).

…if they’re dumb enough to click the link

[/quote]You have the link say something like “embarrassing photos of %n. Click Here” But the person would still have to be PRETTY stupid.
Also, another trick is that if you warn someone up to 35%, you could:
A: sign off, sign on again and keep warning them, or:
B: use a linked screenname, IM them, and when they answer, you can warn them againNote: Only use this if they did something REALLY bad. Dont just do it cuz your bored.

June 14, 2004 at 8:21 am #43980Ithaca1937MemberWith imchaos.com all someone has to do is copy the link and change the part with there screen name and replace it with the screen name of the person whos profile there viewing then paste the whole thing in to the address bar to see that persons admin page as if you were the owner.
With subprofile.com you can’t take polls and quizes if you open the link from the address bar it says you need the latest version of aim to take the polls and quizes. You have to copy the link, open some thing like notepad, paste the link, change your screen name to anything else then make a HTML link like this
Code:then copy the whole thing and past it in your profile, view your profile and click the link. You can then take the polls and test under the name you put as your nick.

June 14, 2004 at 5:56 pm #43973Jeff HesterKeymasterUsually a lot of “aim tricks” are done by the addons are they not? Talking while away, appearing idle and controlling the time? Other things to annoy people are just pointless IMO.
