I love deadaim

It is the best program that enhances aim...I don't get any of those crappy popups when aim starts and the tabbed windows are awesome. Not to mention it has logged IM's. I've heard about aimutation, but I never tried it...so far i'll just stick with good old dead aim

@triton: Dead Aim is basically an addon to AIM with more enhanced features. To me, it makes it more worth having aim because of them

Here is the official homepage http://www.jdennis.net/DeadAIM/downloads.php

Personally I use Trillian, and Miranda before that. Miranda is open source and is a no-frills client for almost any network.. It uses less the 1MB of ram on my machine! That's something AOL's aim can never beat

Bah! Aol is a waste of time. So is IM-ing.

Thats my view. I only run google talk, and chat with only a select few who have it.

I hate AIM. It can be exploited sooo easily, and all the viruses that propogate through it... and all the 30 yearold twisted, sick copulates that pose as 12-year-olds...

a waste of time.

I use Google Talk because you can talk to the people on your list, and ONLY the people on your list. That way you don't get popup messages asking "hay how r u? a/s/l?"

But if you must use any of them, or more than one, use the open-source GAIM. It's platform-independant, and supports ICQ, AIM, Jabber, Yahoo, IRC, and Trillian protocols, amongothers if memory serves me...

You do realise that you can do that on AIM too, right?

I use aim mainly because it's easy and widely used. Using it with linux and encryption enabled it's pretty good.

AIM is fine if you avoid those horrifying AOL-made chatrooms, gah! Bad! Bots! I only talk to like 4 people, all of which I've known for a few years (whether it be online or reallife friends), so I think I am safe.

I recently switched back to AIM 5.5 just so I could use DeadAIM again. I missed my no ads, tabs, aliases, and logging. For Mac users, I prefer the Fire messaging program. It does AIM, Yahoo, and MSN, and while not everything is perfect, there are no ads, tabbed windows, aliases, and logging, so I'm set.

So, anybody have the installer?

I use MSN with enhanced security options, so I get no n00bs go "how r u?" and "a/s/l" or "hu r u?", even though I get the randomest n00bs adding me... thats why god made the block button
