AIM help...

Happydude · 07-01-2002, 12:28 PM

hello all...

i got a problem with AIM, for some reason when i turned on my computer and logged on to AIM, i didnt have a buddy list, what i mean by that is my buddy list was gone, i dont know how or why it happened, but now i have no one on it

so whoever was on my buddy list, or is willing to be on it please post your SN here, or PM me, or just IM me...thanx to those who will cooperate

and if anyone knows how and why that could've happened, an explination would be appreciated...

That happened to me before a couple of times, but then it eventually went back to normal..... But I dunno maybe yours is different and permanent because the world hates you they are all against you you should kill them they deserve to die

good bye

I recommend saving the buddy list as back up, just in case it ever happens again.

Mwah ha ha ha hah, you should all be using Trillian!

Happydude · 07-01-2002, 10:53 PM

whoa...thats so cool...but can you connect to all the messengers at the same time?

sdtPikachu · 07-01-2002, 11:17 PM

Course you can... you can even connect to multiple usernames (e.g. if you have AIM connections for me_number1, happydude and myAIMthing, youi can connect to all of those at once too).

Supports multi-users too. Lovely bit of kit... if you use Windows...

I like it cos AOL/AIM records every single conversation you make... AOL currently have about 3 TB of AIM chat stored on their servers. None of mine thankfully

well last time i checked, trillian records every convo you have right on your computer. there's a button on the screen of the person you're talking to that takes you to all previous convo's with them..i'd rathar have aol store them, than have them stored on my computer.

sdtPikachu · 07-10-2002, 11:03 AM

Trillian only records the conversations if you ask it to...

And why is it better to have your conversations stored somewhere else? Everything personal I have is kept on my computer (using PGP 2048 bit encryption with a 43 digit pass code which would take roughly 8 billion years to crack), and nowhere else except my private POP3 servers.

At least Trillian gives you a choice. And I'd rather trust a bunch of freeware coders than AOL.

Mind you, open source chat clients rock even more than Trillian.
