ai-buddy.com lets you do that and it says up all day/night but if there server restarts then it will kick you off

May 1, 2005 at 6:36 pm #120724DavidParticipantYes, AI-Buddy has no connection to your computer, only your screen name. You are basically using their computer to be online.

http://www.webaim.net has a site that is just as good as http://www.ai-buddy.com. Their server doesnt reset as often as ai-buddy. Only down side is webaim.net doesnt allow multiple locations and sometimes it might be hard to get on due to the limit of users they allow….And yes, your computer can be off and still be signed in through webaim. I’m usually connected through webaim on an average for a week or so before i get disconnected.
May 4, 2005 at 11:54 pm #120725LLXerxesMemberHere’s my problem with ai-buddy. Let’s say I wanna stay on all night, but turn my computer off (that part is manditory, parents want it off). I’ll turn AIM and my computer off, but leave AI Buddy On.
WHen I log onto to AIM again, AI Buddy still running, it resets my online time, which I do not want. ANy help?May 5, 2005 at 12:35 am #120730topramen422MemberLLXerxes wrote:Here’s my problem with ai-buddy.

ANy help?That wont work…you have to use the instant idler program on there..and it will reset your time..Its like logging onto aim on two comps..you log on theirs for overnight and then you log on yours during the day..so it will reset your time..Why does it matter though?

Don’t ask 😉
Tell me how to work the instant idler. I’ve toyed with it but gotten nothing useful…May 5, 2005 at 2:02 am #120731topramen422MemberLLXerxes wrote:Don’t ask 😉
Tell me how to work the instant idler. I’ve toyed with it but gotten nothing useful…It says in the menu how long you can be idle..the most is 45 days…68400 minutes..I think..not sure though
