AIM will be discontinued on December 15, 2017 - AOL Help

AOL Instant Messenger is officially being shut down on December 15. I don't know about you guys, but I'm a little bummed about that. I've had AIM since before I started high school in 2000, through college and at least until 2012.

It's been crucial in getting me laid for the first time, and also for keeping in touch with some of my best friends along the years. I know everyone is all about other forms of social media, but for old fucks like myself, this was the go to.

I remember that a good away message was better than anything you could tweet. I remember creeping on crushes, hearing the door open sound, and talking to friends about appropriate waiting times before saying hi, and them doing the same.

I also remember being on AIM when I had my first beer, sneakily taken from the fridge when I was 14, talking to people from this site, as well as friends from school, around 3am.

I'll never forget all of the stupid TFFChat chat rooms that were made, and all of the ridiculously insane drama and hilarity that transpired.

I'll never forget forging the long lasting relationships with my best friends over stupid conversations.

I'm sure everyone here of a certain age has memories of AIM. Feel free to share them.

I want to fire it up one last time. If anyone else is down, post your sn here. Maybe we can get one last tffchat going

I still weep over MSN messenger.

[LocoColt04]

Holy shit.

I killed off my first AIM account years and years ago when I deactivated the associated AOL account, but I'm pretty sure I've still got accounts under both LocoColt04 and MisterCZAR. I uh... I wonder if those still exist and what the fuck their passwords were.

Never used AIM so I'm not that bothered with the news...

I'm still in mourning of MSN. Ya'll still Skype and shit?

[Azuteor]

I do have a lot of fond memories chatting with folks from TFF, but now you just reminded me of the time I attempted to play “Stairway to Heaven” on guitar in front of ya’ll. Oof.

So where can I watch it? ��

One time I had AIM. I more remember MSM, however. Stopped using AIM a LOOOONG time ago. Do remember that the last few times I used it, I had a Fox McCloud sprite in my sn.

Anyone use IRC, or whatever it was?

[Pete]

I think I only used msn to chat with the half of tff that was adamant about not being normal and using AIM. Still had fun but it was a pain to have both programs open and handling a ton of conversations.

I also remember playing pool on yahoo messenger. It was literally the only reason my friends and I had it.

[Tiffany]

Gawd I can't even remember my AIM username. Though for some reason I still have ICQ on my profile, man I feel old.

[Rocky]

damn, AIM was like the second thing i used to chat with people about videogames. I also got it because of final fantasy...

couldnt even remember my AIM name. or my MSN name either. or my skype stuff. in fact im pretty sure skype is just a malware bot anymore, dont even use it.

DISCORD is where its at. or teamspeak. but yeah mostly discord

edit: oh what do you know i have both registered here so i can see my names at least lol. bless up

[Spooniest]

Don't ask me nothing about nothing

I just might tell you the truth.
