I’ve never been impressed with either AIMforums or IMbum. What’s the big deal? Is there something good that AIMforums had that we should add here?

I just checked out IMBum, I must say I am not impressed with the site. The first thing I was forced to install Lycos Sideshow (sp?) and some cheap search engine on the site. I was able to uninstall everything after I noticed the uninstall hyerlink on the search engine site.

AIMForums was good because it had the seperate foums for modding, trading screen names, programs, tips and tricks, etc. I only come here for AIM, and to have AIMForums specific to AIM and all those sub-topics, it was great. There were many more people there, and they supported things that BBB does not. (PWC, etc)

I liked aimforums because sadly many of them were more into cracking, trojans, etc. This made them a good source for help if i ever started having wierd problems with things like my rate limit, or chat spamming, or getting flooded by messages because they knew what everything was because they used it.

ex. my taskmanager and regedit stopped working. I came hear, and found no help. I went to aimforums and found out i had been infected a popular trojan called bluedeath and a user there had luckily written a private program that removed it.

I like bigblueball as you provide a peaceful, yet organized place that is run by responsible moderators and a responsible administrator. Many of the users are more respectful, and you can often get more help with non-messenger related issues from people here than you would at aimforums. I like this site much more over aimforums and i hope BBB never tries to relate to it in any way. = )

Also, if you didnt know, aimforums.com was paid for by IMbum, so they might have decided to close it down.
