MemberAll I can say is that if someone were to do something like that, I’d find out soon enough and would block them right away no matter who it is. If you don’t have the decency to ask if you can add the other person to your buddy list, you’re not worth chatting with. At least that’s the way I see it.

Memberso a simple question makes me indecent…interesting

MemberYes you can. First of all you will need to gain access to their account. (there are meny progs out there that will do this for you.. i wont say any more than that) then add your email to their list, then delete it. Make sure you havent blocked it. then add the other persons email to your account and have them on perm block.
As to why you would want to do this, i have no idea.October 31, 2003 at 4:10 am #88752magistyk
MemberI’m sorry but we do not support hacking here at BigBlueBall. While the suggestion above would work, you would also be violating laws. Why would you want to add someone to your list without them knowing? What’s the point?

Memberokay…some clarification is in order…i asked this question ’cause i received quite a few strangers msging me while i was online…and i have no idea who they were…i thought they added me using trillian or something since you could add ICQ ppl onto your trillian list w/o them knowing it
now that being said…time to change my password

MemberYou could have accepted them without even realizing it (I do it all the time).

ParticipantYes… I do it too. all they (or you) have to do is right click on the messenger icon in the task bar {beside the clock}, and click send an instant message. Then at the top, click on the other tab, and enter their email address. Simple is that. No need to hack/crack.

Memberdetn8r- I tried your way and it doesn’t allow the screen name/E-mail address to show up on my contact. It did show up in my privacy settings.

It’s not the question but the action you asked about that I find indecent. But who gives a poop what I think, right?

I dont understand what you’re saying. But please also remember, if they are not online, you will not see their nickname. Or if you cant see it, the contact may have set it to only accept messages from people in their contact list. If thats the case, your screwed for this solution.

You don’t need to be on someones contact list to message them. As long as they know your email address, they can send you an instant message. There is an option to turn this feature off in your client if this is bothering you. There is no way to add someone to your list without them knowing, without resorting to illicit hacking or trickery.
Also, Frutzle made a valid observation in his post about the ethics of adding someone without there knowledge. He was not attacking you, just questioning the reasoning behind your question. Sometimes it helps to explain your reason for asking, as well as the question to get a clear answer. It also helps us make sure you are asking a legitimate question, and not one that may break our Forum Policies and Guidlines. Don’t take offense, read his response again, it should be clear what he was saying.

Memberwell, it is my first time on the forum, to me, i thought it was just as simple as a question got, i suppose i could have explained it early on to justify my position, thanks for all your help though
