Does anyone know the code for unlimited buddy lists??
August 26, 2003 at 2:14 am #56510Jeff HesterKeymasterThere is no such code. It used to be possible back before AOL began storing buddy lists on their server, but now they control the max and there’s nothing you can do about it.
The only possible way to increase your contacts is to create multiple screen names; one for your friends, one for your family, etc. That way you could have 200 contacts in each list. A pain, but it’s the only option now.

Heres all the topics on having over 200 buddys::D

August 27, 2003 at 1:23 am #56515slntOPSMemberoh wait a min i dont know if it will work but if u use a registry hack u can change the max number alowed. im not sure if the server will still not alow it but u can make the program alow it
Got to—>Start –>Run –>Regedit, then go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER –>Software –>America Online –>
Aol Instant Messanger (TM) –>Current Version –>Buddy –> then change the max buddy valueI dont know if it will work (i dont have enough sn to add and try it and i also dont realy feel like messin with my registry since i dont need to) NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE YOUR REGISTRY UNLESS YOU ARE SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO YOUR COMP!!!
so if anyone would like to test my theory plez tell me how it goes!
August 27, 2003 at 1:44 am #56513Someguy03MemberYes, this method has been tested and no longer works, as soon as you sign on aim the max buddy value resets to its original number.
August 27, 2003 at 12:12 pm #56516slntOPSMemberwell maybe if u used a hex editor to stop the program from reseting the value or just made it reset the value to like 1000 it would work but im not sure how and that seems like to much work when u can just sign up for another s/n, just stick with makin more s/n’s its the simplest way
August 28, 2003 at 1:29 am #56512rockerjockMemberur buddylist is stored on the server making it impossible no matter wut u do to the program.
August 28, 2003 at 1:49 am #56511CharlesMemberIf, you were desperate…you could always download AIM 4.3.xxxx and load ur buddy list and add more. But only if you were desperate for this feature and didn’t mind losing almost all of your current features and heading back to the WW2 version.
