Okay I went to sign up for a .net account, it said it would send an email to my yahoo screen name, it’s been a few days and it didn’t yet. So now i’m just trying to close it down. because it annoys me. And these “messanger service” ads keep popping out at me. So how do I close it?
Let me tell you something about AIM Video, IT’S Crap, the stupid A-HOLE’s at AOL should have sent it through beta longer before releasing it. It’s just in there for name sake it isn’t supposed to work.
STUPID 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.

Okay Mr. English Professor, I noticed a mistake Last paragraph I said, “it’s” which is a contraction for “it is”, I mean “Its” as in sense of possession.
Whatever it could go either way, by light I meant a program that could be maybe less than 1 Meg verse what is AIM 5.5 – 3 or 4 Meg? Then again he is correct it would be nice if there were an AIM Lite, that is kind of what I mean. Whatever.
Who agrees with me that AIM has way too much useless crap built into it? Who uses talk (that is what a phone is for)? Who uses the Stock Ticker? Who is going to use this Video crap (that is what yahoo or NetMeeting is for!!)? AIM Phone? Cheesy Games? IM Greetings? Sending Email from AIM? Okay it’s only maybe a couple hundred K of data to put those features there. Okay 100K here, 240K there, 90K over there, eventually that adds up to couple Megs, which is considerable. At that who wants spy ware in their computer? Of course you get into Reshacker, or Hex Workshop, or whatever Hex editor and waste your time of chopping this out, and that out, and this other out, and just hope it don’t corrupt some file which might be critical. Even at that you can cut out everything you see, but there is STILL some residual crap you missed, or you can’t delete. Think about in the sense of deleting crap files out of your computer, verse reformatting it. That is why I am calling for a totally new program, verse just trying to patch what we have.
The point of this all.
“AIM Lite (TM)” A simple AIM clone for windows, that is compact. It’s most advanced feature being Direct Connection. It would be meant to operate in a simple manner -> Send/Receive IMs, Functional Buddy List, Chat room capability, Away Messages. WITHOUT ALL THE GULIT!!I mean what additional features does 5.5 offer over 5.2 that are useful? Okay the Multiple login is nice, and besides that …? oh yeah it tells you when people go and come back from idle.
Using ResHacker sounds cool, I am familer with it all ready. But that sounds cool for a tempt fix, I’m determined to get a program bulit ground up
