Is There any way on aim you can have more than 200 buddies.
March 26, 2004 at 10:42 pm #47521March 27, 2004 at 5:21 am #47523matttrenMemberSTUPID STUPID STUPID!! Let me tell you a secret about the 200 Buddy Restriction. IT’S IN THE SERVER! Think about it, if you sign on your screen name at whatever location your buddy list is always there. Thus the memory is not on your computer, it’s on the AIM server. If you want sign up another screen name and link, or DELETE SOME PEOPLE!
Think about that there is over 100,000,000 (100 MILLION) AIM screen names out there. Now if they didn’t have restrictions on how much data (or number of screen names stored), that would get way too crazy, that is a LOT of data.
My suggestion to you, trim your buddy list! You could also sign up another screen name for a different use. For instance I have one screen for my friends, and people I know in real life; and another for just online people.
I can not emphize enough for you to TRIM YOUR BL. Back-up your buddy list, date it, save it somewhere, then go through your BL and delete everyone you haven’t seen online in a while, the people you don’t talk to, those annoying people who have five different screen names, people who blocked you, ex girlfriends, the hoes that hurt you, okay let’s get back to the point. I think you get it.

Who are you calling stupid? Pimpskater asked a question, show some respect.
As for the limit, you cannot bypass it with the AIM client itself, but I believe programs such as Trillian can store screen names locally.
