Does anyone else miss AIM - AOL Instant Messenger?

[Anonymous]

I remember my go-to font... Bright purple comic sans. Terribly dramatic away messages.

[0112358]

I used it. Also YIM and even ICQ. And I think there was a Microsoft one? I used like a universal program.

When I started on GaG gag’s chat was attached to some platform I can’t remember what. Meebo? And you could actually run the chat without GaG being open. It was nice.

[JimRSmith]

Did they actually get rid of it? Somehow I imagined it was still out there, unused and unloved...

[Asker]

i think it's still there... just... abandoned.

[JimRSmith]

When you stop and think about it, there has to be SO much stuff in precisely that category...

[Asker]

that's a sad thought...

[JimRSmith]

Oh, I don't know.

I console myself by thinking that one day, Facebook and Twitter will be added to that pile of electronic detritus... 🤣

[Asker]

to be replaced by what monstruous thing? :p

[JimRSmith]

Something doubtless even worse, lol 😁

[Asker]

i shudder at the thought lmao

[angelgirl7]

Yes! AIM was my life back in the day. I was always hoping it would make a comeback. 😢

[Jmcmanning]

nope, never used it. I did use ICQ and yahoo messenger.

[Prof_Don]

AOL messenger reminds me of my college days!

I had away messages for almost every situation in different font/background colors! 😂

Log in, Log out, Log in, Log out.

Now my crush will give me attention and fall in love with me, all too easy

Me - early internet dating.

Never used AIM, but I have and still use an AOL email account. Just something in me that won't let me get rid of my first email account.

[Schnitzel]

Yeah, I still have my first email account, it is 20 years old this year. I'd be gutted if I lost it 😂

[llorando]

@Schnitzel Mine is only 12 years old, but still can't be without it.

[Decentguy]

i tried using it, but never knew what it was about, lol

[littlepig2002]

All child predators killed chat rooms, messengers like AIM got killed by mobile phone apps
