if they aren’t available to ask, then you’ll just have to deal with not having that name.

sorry. there is no way that i know of to otherwise contact a screenname’s owner unless you already know of their email or another screenname they use. if you dont know that information, you wont be able to contact them, and “you’ll just have to deal with not having that name.”

there are worse things in life than not having a particular screenname. take it easy.

yea but i know no one uses it so i just think AIM should make it so if you don’t use a SN for like a year you gone
and someone should get it but no AIM just sucks

theoretically aim did put in a term that after… 6 months? some arbitrary time period… if the screenname has not been signed onto, it becomes available again. although i’m not sure if they actually do.

and technically, you dont know that it’s not being used. they could simply have their privacy options set so only people on their buddylist can see them.

Yeah, the asking thing is pretty tough. I offered to buy Jonathan (maybe it was just Jon, but I think it was Jonathan) from the owner of it, but he was pretty stern and wouldn’t even give me a selling price 😉 I’d still like to buy it off of him, but I don’t think anything less than quite a few hundred dollars or more would get him to give it up. I’d gladly pay a couple hundred, but I don’t have enough income to go any higher…for now 😀

There is no way for you to know they aren’t using a sn. They may just have privacy settings so only their friends know they have it. As far as the time limit goes, when it was originally started it was 90 days and i’m not sure if it has changed. I’ve lost one sn, but others still worked so i’m not sure how they do it.
